Answer:

A skilled  broker will be right at  60% of time compared to 50%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now,

Let X  be represented as = number of correct predictions/outcomes

X foll binomial distribution with n = 3 and p = 0.5 for broker who use a toss coin

Thus,

P(X = 3) = p^3 = 0.5^3 which gives us  = 0.125

So,

For a skilled broker, Y goes with the binomial distribution with n = 3 and p is = 0.6

Then,

P(Y = 3) = 0.6^3 = 0.216

We can therefore conclude who is skilled broker by making large number of observations

Hence, we say that a skilled broker will be correct 60% of time compared to 50% .

If you were in a debate fighting for the rights of something what techniques should you use, just curious?
Crazy boy [7]
Techniques? Hm, well I’d definitely try to reason with them. I’d rely more on logos by giving facts or data that can be proven in some type of way.

This was the best answer I could give for right now, considering that I’m currently typing with one hand. Let me know if you have any further questions.
