Answer:
i)
ii)
iii)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by defining the random variable ⇒
'' Number of students that will get 7 marks out of 10 in first attempt of a certain Quiz while attempting Quiz on BlackBoard LMS ''
is a discrete random variable.
The probability of a randomly selected student getting 7 marks out of 10 is 0.4
(This is a data from the question).
Now, if we assume independence between the students while they are doing the Quiz and also we assume that this probability remains constant , we can modelate as a binomial random variable ⇒
~ Bi (n,p)
Where ''n'' and ''p'' are the parameters of the variable.
''n'' is the number of students attempting the Quiz and ''p'' is the probability that a student will get 7 marks out of 10 which is 0.4 ⇒
~ Bi (20, 0.4) in the question.
The probability function for is
(I)
Where is the combinatorial number define as
Replacing the parameters in the equation (I) ⇒
(II)
For i) we need to find
Then, we only need to replace by in equation (II) ⇒
For ii) we need to calculate
This probability is equal to ⇒ and to calculate it we need to sum
We can do it summing each term or either using any program.
The result is
Finally for iii) we need to find ⇒
This probability is equal to ⇒ ⇒
Again we can find each term by using the equation (II) or either using a program. The result is
