Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

a) 0.37 = 37%.

b) 0.5065 = 50.65%.

c) 0.3260 = 32.60%.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, the fixed parameter is:

p = 0.37.

Item a:

The probability is P(X = 1) when n = 1, hence:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{1,1}.(0.37)^{1}.(0.63)^{0} = 0.37

Item b:

The probability is P(X = 3) when n = 3, hence:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.37)^{3}.(0.63)^{0} = 0.5065

Item c:

The probability is P(X = 2) when n = 4, hence:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.37)^{2}.(0.63)^{2} = 0.3260

➷  It would be done in the same way it would if it was an integer ;

think of it as two separate parts

(3/5)^3 = 3/5 * 3/5 * 3/5

Calculate the top half, then the bottom half and put them together

3 * 3 * 3 = 27

5 * 5 * 5 = 125

Thus, your answer will be 27/125
