No 4/6 is closer to 1 than 1/8. Think of it this way if you had 1 out of 8 slices of pizza there is still a 7 slices left but if you had 4 slices out of 6 there is only 2 left... In other words 4/6 is closer to 6/6 which equals a whole aka 1 than 1/8 which is further from equaling a whole.

Answer: 4/6 is closer to 1

Convert the fraction 7 24 into a repeating decimal.

goldenfox [79]

$\dfrac7{24}=\dfrac6{24}+\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac14+\dfrac1{24}$

$\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac1{8\time3}=\dfrac a8+\dfrac b3=\dfrac{3a+8b}{24}$
$\implies3a+8b=1$

We can choose $a=-1$ and $b=\dfrac12$ , so that

$\dfrac1{24}=-\dfrac18+\dfrac16$

Recalling that $\dfrac13=0.333\ldots$ , it follows that $\dfrac16=0.166\ldots$ . So,

$\dfrac1{24}=0.125+0.166\ldots=0.04166\ldots$
$\implies\dfrac7{24}=0.25+0.4166\ldots=0.29166\ldots$

Help binomial distributions

Ymorist [56]

We have the formula to compute the probability of having exactly k successed over n trials, given a probability p of success (and implicitly a probability 1-p of failure), which is

$P(\text{k successed on n trials}) = \binom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}$

Now, the probability of at least 3 successes is the union of the following event: exactly three successes,exactly four successes and exactly five successes.

We can compute their probability and sum them: $\binom{5}{3}\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^3\left(\frac{4}{7}\right)^2 + \binom{5}{4}\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^4\left(\frac{4}{7}\right)^1 + \binom{5}{5}\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^5 \approx 0.36788$

So, the answer is about 36.79%
