In a television series there is exactly one crime committed in every episode. It has been observed that the probability that the

criminal is male in an episode is 0.35. What is the probability, rounded to three significant figures, that in five consecutive episodes the criminal is a male at least 3 times?

Answer:

P(x \le 3) = 0.2352

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p = 0.35 --- male committing a crime in an episode

n = 5 -- Number of episodes

Required

Determine the probability of male committing a crime at least 3 times

This question illustrates binomial distribution and will be solved using;

P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x

So, the required probability is represented as:

P(x \ge 3)

And will be calculated using:

P(x \ge 3) = P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)

P(x = 3) = ^5C_3 * (0.35)^3 * (1 - 0.35)^{5-3}

P(x = 3) = ^5C_3 * (0.35)^3 * (1 - 0.35)^2

P(x = 3) = 10 * (0.35)^3 * (0.65)^2

P(x = 3) = 0.1811

P(x = 4) = ^5C_4 * (0.35)^4 * (1 - 0.35)^{5-4}

P(x = 4) = 5 * (0.35)^4 * (1 - 0.35)^1

P(x = 4) = 5 * (0.35)^4 * (0.65)

P(x = 4) = 0.0488

P(x = 5) = ^5C_5 * (0.35)^5 * (1 - 0.35)^{5-5}

P(x = 5) = 1 * (0.35)^5 * (1 - 0.35)^0

P(x = 5) = 1 * (0.35)^5 * (0.65)^0

P(x = 5) = 1 * (0.35)^5 * 1

P(x = 5) = 0.0053

So:

P(x \ge 3) = P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)

P(x \le 3) = 0.1811 + 0.0488 + 0.0053

P(x \le 3) = 0.2352

SpyIntel [72]

The discount price will be 0.8X dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Price of an item = X dollars

Discount = 20%

Amount of discount = 20% of Price of item

Amount of discount =  

Price of item after discount = Price of item - Amount of discount

Price of item after discount = X-0.2X = 0.8X dollars

The discount price will be 0.8X dollars.
