The "how far" question is answerable by finding the circumference of the wheel. The circumference, C, is found by calculating C = πd, where d is the diameter of the circle in question.

Here, C = (34 in)π, which comes out to 106.81 inches. The bike will move 106.81 inches forward if the wheel turns once.

If the wheel turns 5 times, the total distance traveled is 5 times the circumference, or 5(106.81 in) = 534.07 in.

Answer:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)$

And we can find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(X=8)=(10C8)(0.65)^0 (1-0.65)^{10-8}=0.176$

$P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.65)^1 (1-0.65)^{10-9}=0.072$

$P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.65)^2 (1-0.65)^{10-10}=0.013$

And adding we got:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)= 0.176+0.072+0.013=0.262$

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".

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

$X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.65)$

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:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to find this probability:
