a die is rolled 20 times and the number of twos that come up is tallied. find the probability of getting the given result. fewer than four twos.

Respuesta :

The probability of getting the fewer than four twos is 0.5665.

Explain the Binomial probability distribution?

  • The probability of precisely x successes after n repeated trials is known as a binomial probability, and X only has two possible outcomes.

       P(X = x) = C(n,x). p ˣ .(1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

  • Where C(n,x) is the number of distinct combinations of x items drawn from a group of n elements, as determined by the formula below.

        C(n,x) = n!/x!(n-x)!

For the given question-

p is the likelihood that X will occur.

20 times of a die are rolled;

This indicates that; n = 20.

Six sides, one of which is two:

This indicates that; p = 1/6 = 0.1667.

Probability of having three or fewer twos:

Such is:

P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) +  P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) +  P(X = 3)

So,

P(X < 4) = C(n,x).  p ˣ .(1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

P(X = 0) = C(20,0).  0.1667⁰ .(0.8333)²⁰

P(X = 0) = 0.0261

P(X = 1) = C(20,1).  0.1667¹ .(0.8333)¹⁹

P(X = 1) = 0.1043

P(X = 2) = C(20,2).  0.1667 ² .(0.8333)¹⁸

P(X = 2) = 0.1982

P(X = 3) = C(20,3).  0.1667³ .(0.8333)¹⁷

P(X = 3) = 0.2379

P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) +  P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) +  P(X = 3)

P(X < 4) = 0.0261 +  0.1043 + 0.1982 + 0.2379

P(X < 4) = 0.5665

Thus, the probability of getting the fewer than four twos is 0.5665.
