Answer: 0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

P(X=x)=^nC_x\ p^x\ (1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability of winning = \dfrac{1}{6}

Let X be the random variable that represents the number of sodas.

Since he is guaranteed that he will win one soda .

If Cody buys 6 sodas, then the probability that he will win at least one more soda will be :

P(x\geq2 )=1-(P(0)+P(1))\\\\=1-(^6C_0\ (\dfrac{1}{6})^0\ (1-\dfrac{1}{6})^{6-0}+^6C_1\ (\dfrac{1}{6})^1\ (1-\dfrac{1}{6})^{6-1})\\\\=1-((\dfrac{5}{6})^6+(\dfrac{5}{6})^5)\approx0.26

Hence, the true probability he will win at least one more soda =0.26

Levart [38]
The answer is 98 small and 57 large cups.

s - the number of small cups
l - the number of large cups

<span>Ashley sold a total of 155 cups: s + l = 155
</span><span>Ashley earned</span><span>for $265: 1.25 * s + 2.50 * l = 265

</span>s + l = 155
1.25 * s + 2.50 * l = 265
________
s = 155 - l
1.25 * s + 2.50 * l = 265
________
1.25 * (155 - l) + 2.50 * l = 265
193.75 - 1.25 * l + 2.50 * l = 265
193.75 + 1.25 * l = 265
1.25 * l = 265 - 193.75
1.25 * l = 71.25
l = 71.25 / 1.25
l = 57

______
s = 155 - l
l = 57

s = 155 - 57
s = 98
