Answer:

D. P(5+ 6's) = 0.4063

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial distribution.

For the distribution to be applicable, the experiment must

1. Have a know and constant number of trials

2. Probability of success of each trial remains constant (and known if available)

3. Each trial is a Bernoulli trial, i.e. with only two outcomes, success or failure.

4. Independence between trials.

Let  

n = number of trials  = 25

p = probability of success of each trial  = 1 / 6

x = number of successes  (0 ≤ x ≤ n)  = 5

C(n,x) = number of combinations of picking x identical objects out of n

Applying binomial distribution

P(x,n) = probability of x successes in an experiment of n trials.

= C(n,x) * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

For n = 25 trials with probability of success (roll a 6) = 1/6

and x = 5,6,7,8,...25

It is easier to calculate the complement by

P(5+ 6's) = 1 - P(<5 6's)

= 1 - ( P(0,25) + P(1,25) + P(2,25) + P(3,25) + P(4,25) )

1- (

    P(0,25) = C(25,0) * (1/6)^0 * (5/6)^25 = 0.0104825960103961

    P(1,25) = C(25,1) * (1/6)^1 * (5/6)^24 = 0.05241298005198051

     P(2,25) = C(25,2) * (1/6)^2 * (5/6)^23 = 0.1257911521247532

    P(3,25) = C(25,3) * (1/6)^3 * (5/6)^22 = 0.1928797665912883

    P(4,25) = C(25,4) * (1/6)^4 * (5/6)^21 = 0.2121677432504171

)

= 1 - 0.59373

= 0.40626

= 0.4063 (to 4th decimal place)

Use the list below to find the upper quartile. 27, 5, 11, 13, 10, 8, 14, 18, 7
Alinara [238K]

Find the  median first. The middle of all the numbers.

5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27

11 is the median.

Then find the median of the upper quartile.

The upper quartile consists of numbers...

5, 7, 8, 10

Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8=  15/2.

7.5 is your upper quartile.
