Algebra.Com's Answer #762107 by rothauserc(4718)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the binomial probability formula \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Probability (P) (k successes out of n trials) = nCk * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), p is the probability of success, nCk = n!/(k! * (n-k)!) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "for this problem, p = 0.20, n=18 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "(a) summation from i = 4 to 18 of P(i out of 18 trials) = 0.4999 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "(b) 1 - P(0 successes out of 18 trials) = 1 - 0.0180 = 0.9820 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "(c) summation from i = 0 to 2 of P(i out of 18 trials) = 0.2713 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " |
