You can put this solution on YOUR website!
p(4) = .4^4 * .6^1 * c(5,4) = .0768 = .077\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is a binomial distribution type problem where p(x) = p^x * q^(n-x) * c(n,x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n is equal to 5
\n" ); document.write( "x ranges from 0 to 5.
\n" ); document.write( "c(n,x) = n! / (x! * (n-x)!)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the following excel spreadsheet shows all the probabilities from x = 0 to x = 5.
\n" ); document.write( "the sum of all the probabilities is equal to 1, as it should be.\r
