Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that at least 2 of them choose the same quote.
<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>The formula is:
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- n is the number of trials.
- p is the probability of a success on a single trial.
In this problem, we have that:
- There are 6 students, hence n = 6.
- There are 20 quotes, hence the probability of each being chosen is p = 1/20 = 0.05.
The probability of one quote being chosen at least two times is given by:
In which:
P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1).
Then:
Then:
P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.7351 + 0.2321 = 0.9672.
0.0328 = 3.28% probability that at least 2 of them choose the same quote.
