Answer:
0.1505 = 15.05% probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November
Step-by-step explanation:
For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the team wins, or it does not. The probability of winning a game is independent of winning other games. 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.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3723
So
12 games in November
So
What is the probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November?
This is
0.1505 = 15.05% probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November
So...notice first off, the 0.6 has 1 decimal, the 0.0024 has 4 decimals
what happens is, the dot goes poof BUT, you need to add as many zeros to each number as the other's decimals.
the 0.6 has one decimal, so 0.0024 gets an added zero and loses the dot, to become 000240.
the 0.0024 has four decimals, thus the 0.6 gets added 4 zeros then, and loses the dot, to become 060000
and then you divided that, those are the dividend and divisor.
