Answer:

a) P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.2573

b)  P(X=0) = 12C0 (0.24)^0 (1-0.24)^{12-0}= 0.037

P(X=1) = 12C1 (0.24)^1 (1-0.24)^{12-1}= 0.1407

P(X=2) = 12C2 (0.24)^2 (1-0.24)^{12-2}= 0.2573

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.1828

And after replace we got:

P( X \geq 4) = 1-0.6795 = 0.3205

c) P(X=0) = 12C0 (0.24)^0 (1-0.24)^{12-0}= 0.037

P(X=1) = 12C1 (0.24)^1 (1-0.24)^{12-1}= 0.1407

P(X=2) = 12C2 (0.24)^2 (1-0.24)^{12-2}= 0.2573

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.1828

P(X=4) = 12C4 (0.24)^4 (1-0.24)^{12-4}= 0.1828

P(X=5) = 12C5 (0.24)^5 (1-0.24)^{12-5}= 0.092

P(X=6) = 12C6 (0.24)^6 (1-0.24)^{12-6}= 0.034

P(X=7) = 12C7 (0.24)^6 (1-0.24)^{12-7}= 0.00921

And we got:

P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=12, p=0.24)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

For this case we can use the mass function and we got:

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.2573

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \geq 4)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(X \geq 4) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilites and we got:

P(X=0) = 12C0 (0.24)^0 (1-0.24)^{12-0}= 0.037

P(X=1) = 12C1 (0.24)^1 (1-0.24)^{12-1}= 0.1407

P(X=2) = 12C2 (0.24)^2 (1-0.24)^{12-2}= 0.2573

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.1828

And after replace we got:

P( X \geq 4) = 1-0.6795 = 0.3205

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X

We can find the individual probabilites and we got:

P(X=0) = 12C0 (0.24)^0 (1-0.24)^{12-0}= 0.037

P(X=1) = 12C1 (0.24)^1 (1-0.24)^{12-1}= 0.1407

P(X=2) = 12C2 (0.24)^2 (1-0.24)^{12-2}= 0.2573

P(X=3) = 12C3 (0.24)^3 (1-0.24)^{12-3}= 0.1828

P(X=4) = 12C4 (0.24)^4 (1-0.24)^{12-4}= 0.1828

P(X=5) = 12C5 (0.24)^5 (1-0.24)^{12-5}= 0.092

P(X=6) = 12C6 (0.24)^6 (1-0.24)^{12-6}= 0.034

P(X=7) = 12C7 (0.24)^6 (1-0.24)^{12-7}= 0.00921

And we got:

P(X

Keith as 11/12 hours to play, he has already played 1/4. which is the best estimate of the fractional part of an hour he has lef
____ [38]

Answer:

The best estimate is greater than 1/2 but less than 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply 1/4 by 3/3 (which is also 1), you can change the denominator without changing the value.  So 1/4 is equal to 3/12.

Since keith has 11/12 hours to play, and he has already played 3/12 hours, subtract 3/12 from 11/12 to get 8/12 hours. This is how much time he has left to play.  

If you simplify 8/12 hours, you get 2/3 hours.

So the best estimate would be: greater than 1/2 but less than 3/4.
