To find the probability that 6 adults selected at random from the town all have health insurance, we need to multiply the probability of each individual having health insurance.
The probability of an individual having health insurance is 70% or 0.70 in decimal form.
Since we are selecting 6 adults at random, we need to multiply the probability of each event happening together. Therefore, the probability that 6 adults selected at random from the town all have health insurance is:
0.70 * 0.70 * 0.70 * 0.70 * 0.70 * 0.70 = 0.027993 (rounded to 5 decimal places)
So, the probability that 6 adults selected at random from the town all have health insurance is approximately 0.028 or 2.8%.
In one town, 70% of adults have health insurance. What is the probability that 6 adults selected at random from the town all have health
insurance?
