Question

A binomial experiment consists of 14 trials. The probability of success on trial 7 is 0.84. What is the probability of failure on trial 11?

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of failure of trial 11 is  $q = 0.16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally one the attributes of a binomial experiment is that the probability of success and  failure  is constant every trial so given from the question that the probability of success is 0.84 for trial 7 , then the probability of failure of trial  7 will be evaluated as

            $q = 1 - 0.84$

=>         $q = 0.16$

And from the attribute stated above the probability of failure of trial 11 is  $q = 0.16$
