In a carnival game, there are six identical boxes, one of which contains a prize. A contestant wins the prize by selecting the b

ox containing it. Before each game, the old prize is removed and another prize is placed at random in one of the six boxes. Is it appropriate to use the binomial probability distribution to find the probability that a contestant who plays the game five times wins exactly twice?
A) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/5.
B) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 2, r = 5, p = 1/6.
C) No. The five trials are independent, but have more than two outcomes.
D) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/6.

Answer:

D) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Number of boxes = 6

Box containing a prize = 1

Probability of success, p = box containing a price / number of boxes = 1 /6

Number of trials = 5

Probability of success on exactly 2 trials, r = 2

Hence,

P(r = 2) = nCr * p^r * (1-p)^(n-r)

n = 5 ; r = 2 ; p = 1/6

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(r = 2) = 0.1608

Ray wants to buy an item worth $500. Which option is the most cost-effective?
LuckyWell [14K]

Ray wants to buy an item worth 500$ in the most cost-effective way. Let's study each of the 3 cases and see with option is the best.

In the first option, he'll buy the item at list price with a coupon for $10 off. So he'll buy it at 500-10 =$490.

In the second option, he'll buy a membership for $35 and then get the item at a 15% discount. With a 15% discount, the price of the item will be 500 - (500*0.15) = 500 - 75 = $425. And with the membership price, he'll pay a total of 425 + 35 = $460.

The third option is to buy the item online at a 10% discount and pay $4 for the shipping. At 10% discount, the price of the item will be 500 - (500*0.1) = 500 - 50 = $450. And with cost of the shipping, he'll pay a total of 450+4 = $454.


So if he chooses the first option, he'll pay $490. With the second, he'll pay $460. And finally with the third, he'll pay $454.

So the third option is the most cost-effective, buying the item at $454.

Hope this helps! :)
