What is the probability Mr. Taylor will pick exactly 6 games correctly in the first round?
What is the probability Mr. Taylor will pick exactly 18 games incorrectly in the first round? Answer by swincher4391(1107) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A) (32 choose 32) * (0.5)^32 * (0.5)^0 = 2.328 * 10^(-10)
B) (32 choose 6) * (0.5)^6 * (0.5)^26 = 0.0211%
C) (32 choose 14) * (0.5)^14 *(0.5)^18 = 10.98%
