Question 1112741
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Yes, because there are two possible outcomes, one that would be considered a successful outcome of the experiment and the other a failed outcome and the probability of success for any given trial is constant.


However, in view of the fact that your given data is ambiguous in one sense, there will be two possible answers to the question.


Does "see a movie" mean to put on a DVD and STAY HOME to watch it?  Or does it mean GO OUT to a theater?  In the first case, the chance of success on a given trial is 48%.  In the second case, the chance of success on a given trial is 38%.
