Question 1046318: Suppose we want to determine the (binomial) probability (p) of getting 5 heads in 15 flips of a 2-sided coin. Using the Binomial table in the appendix of the text, what values of n, x, and p would we use to look up this probability, and what would be the probability?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n = 15
:
x = 5
:
p = 0.50
:
Probability of getting 5 heads = 0.0916 approx 0.10 or 10%
:
