Complete Question

At a carnival, the probability that a person will win a prize at the ring-toss game has been found to be (1/20). What is the probability that a prize will be won by exactly

a. 1 of the next 5 players?

b. 3 of the next 5 players?

c. 0 of the next 5 players?

d. 2 of the next 20 players?​

Solution

This is a binomial distribution problem

A binomial experiment is one in which the probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials.

It usually consists of a number of runs/trials with only two possible outcomes, a success or a failure.

The outcome of each trial/run of a binomial experiment is independent of one another.

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 5, 20

x = Number of successes required = 1, 3, 0, 2

p = probability of success = probability of winning a prize in the ring-toss = (1/20) = 0.05

q = probability of failure = probability of NOT winning a prize in the ring-toss = 1 - (1/20) = (19/20) = 0.95

a. 1 of the next 5 players?

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 5

x = Number of successes required = 1

p = probability of success = 0.05

q = probability of failure = 0.95

P(X = 1) = ⁵C₁ (0.05)¹ (0.95)⁵⁻¹ = 0.2036265625 = 0.20363

b) 3 of the next 5 players?

n = total number of sample spaces = 5

x = Number of successes required = 3

p = probability of success = 0.05

q = probability of failure = 0.95

P(X = 3) = ⁵C₃ (0.05)³ (0.95)⁵⁻³ = 0.001128125 = 0.00113

c. 0 of the next 5 players?

n = total number of sample spaces = 5

x = Number of successes required = 0

p = probability of success = 0.05

q = probability of failure = 0.95

P(X = 0) = ⁵C₀ (0.05)⁰ (0.95)⁵⁻⁰ = 0.7737809375 = 0.77378

d. 2 of the next 20 players?​

n = total number of sample spaces = 20

x = Number of successes required = 2

p = probability of success = 0.05

q = probability of failure = 0.95

P(X = 2) = ²⁰C₂ (0.05)² (0.95)²⁰⁻² = 0.18867680127 = 0.18868

A television​ network, Network​ A, is scheduling its fall lineup of shows. For the Tuesday night 8 p.m.​ slot, Network A has sel
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The number of viewers Network A expects will watch their show is 1.4 million viewers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is calculated by multiplying the possible outcomes by the probability of their occurrence and adding the results

Therefore, we have the expected value given by the following expression;

Estimated network A viewers  where network B schedule top show = 1.1 million viewers

Estimated network A viewers where network B schedule a different show = 1.6 million viewers

Probability that Network B will air its top show = 0.4

Probability that Network B will air another show = 0.6

We therefore have;

Expected value, E of Network A viewers is therefore;

E = 1.1 × 0.4 + 1.6 × 0.6 =  0.44 + 0.96 = 1.4 million viewers.

Network A expects 1.4 million viewers will watch their show.
