Researchers conducted a study to determine whether there were significant differences in graduation rates between medical students
Question:
Researchers conducted a study to determine whether there were significant differences in graduation rates between medical students admitted through special programs and medical students admitted through the regular admissions criteria. It was found that the graduation rate was 93% for the medical students admitted through special programs in all medical schools. Complete parts(a) and (b) below.
a. If 14 of the students admitted through special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 13 of them graduated.
The probability that at least 13 of the 14 students graduated is nothing.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b. Suppose a medical school has 14 students in one of the special programs of its medical program. Does the probability calculated in part (a) apply to these students?
A. No, because the students admitted through a single special program at a specific medical school are a random sample.
B. Yes, because the students admitted through a single special program at a specific medical school are a random sample.
C. Yes, because the students admitted through a single special program at a specific medical school are not a random sample.
D. No, because the students admitted through a single special program at a specific medical school are not a random sample.
