Algebra.Com's Answer #819545 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the first is p(0) is (1-p)^5=0.479^5=0.0252 \n" ); document.write( "more than 3 means 4 or 5 \n" ); document.write( "for p(4)=5C4*0.521^4*0.479^1, binomial formula. This equals 0.1765 \n" ); document.write( "for p(5)=0.521^5=0.0384 \n" ); document.write( "The answer is the sum or 0.2149 \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "p(1) is 5*0.521*0.479^4=0.1371 \n" ); document.write( "added to p(0) gives the probability of fewer than 2, and that is 0.1623. \n" ); document.write( " |
