Answer: 0.0898

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = \dfrac{favorable\ outcomes}{Total\ outcomes}

Given : Sample size : 528

Number pf customers say they are happy = 237

Probability of getting one happy customer= \dfrac{237}{528}

Probability of getting second happy customer= \dfrac{236}{527}  [subtract 1 from both numbers]

Probability of getting third happy customer= \dfrac{235}{526}  

If 3 customers are elected without replacement

The probability they will all say they are happy with the service  = \dfrac{237}{528}\times\dfrac{236}{527}\times\dfrac{235}{526}  

\approx0.0898

Hence, the required probability = 0.0898

A group of 8 friends (5 girls and 3 boys) plans to watch a movie, but they have only 5 tickets. If they randomly decide who
nalin [4]

Answer:

53.57%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate first the specific number of events that interest us, if at least 3 are girls, they mean that 2 are boys, therefore we must find the combinations of 3 girls of 5 and 2 boys of 3, and multiply that, so :

# of ways to succeed = 5C3 * 3C2 = 5! / (3! * (5-3)!) * 3! / (2! * (3-2)!)

 = 10 * 3 = 30

That is, there are 30 favorable cases, now we must calculate the total number of options, which would be the combination of 5 people from the group of 8.

# of random groups of 5 = 8C5 = 8! / (5! * (8-5)!) = 56

That is to say, in total there are 56 ways, the probability would be the quotient of these two numbers like this:

P (3 girls and 2 boys) = 30/56 = 0.5357

Which means that the probability is 53.57%

A certain bowler can bowl a strike 85 % of the time. What is the probability that she ​a) goes three consecutive frames without
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a) 0.34% probability that she goes three consecutive frames without a​ strike.

b) 1.91% probability that she her first strike in the third ​frame

c) 99.66% probability that she has at least one strike in the first three ​frames.

d) 14.22% probability that she bowls a perfect game.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each frame, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is a strike, or there is not. The probability of a strike happening in a frame is independent of other frames. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

A certain bowler can bowl a strike 85 % of the time.

This means that p = 0.85

a) goes three consecutive frames without a​ strike?

This is P(X = 0) when n = 3. So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.85)^{0}.(0.15)^{3} = 0.0034

0.34% probability that she goes three consecutive frames without a​ strike.

​b) makes her first strike in the third ​frame?

No strike during the first two(with a 15% probability)

Strike during the third(85% probability). So

P = 0.15*0.15*0.85 = 0.0191

1.91% probability that she her first strike in the third ​frame

c) has at least one strike in the first three ​frames? ​

Either there are no strikes, or there is at least one strike. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100%.

From a), 0.34% probability that she goes three consecutive frames without a​ strike.

100 - 0.34 = 99.66

99.66% probability that she has at least one strike in the first three ​frames.

d) bowls a perfect game​ (12 consecutive​ strikes)?

This is P(X = 12) when n = 12. So

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

P(X = 12) = C_{12,12}.(0.85)^{12}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.1422

14.22% probability that she bowls a perfect game.
