Answer:

0.3758 = 37.58% probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target

Step-by-step explanation:

For each shot, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they hit the target, or they do not. The probability of a shot hitting the target is independent of any other shot, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Each arrow with a probability 0.2

This means that p = 0.2

First 10 arrows

This means that n = 10

What is the probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target?

This is:

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2684

Then

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1074 + 0.2684 = 0.3758

0.3758 = 37.58% probability that at most one of her first 10 arrows hits the target

Let n = the number of points

The last term will always be 0, when you reach that, stop.

ex. 1pt: 1-1=0
      2pt: (2-1) + (2-2) = 1
      3pt: (3-1) + (3-2) + (3-3) = 3

Veronika [31]

Answer:

  B.  x < $5 or x > $15

Step-by-step explanation:

The "or" in the problem statement gives you a clue that answer choices C and D can be rejected.

If x is the stock value, then value per share "below $5" means x < $5. This corresponds with answer choice B. Of course, "above $15" means x > $15, also corresponding to answer choice B.
