Answer:
The probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 separate days is 0.06166 and its standard deviation is 0.9447
Explanation:
We are given that A city of Punjab has 15 percent chance of wet weather on any given day.
So, Probability of wet weather = 0.15
Probability of not being a wet weather = 1-0.15 =0.85
We are supposed to find probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 separate days
Total number of days in a week = 7
We will use binomial over here
n = 7
p =probability of failure = 0.15
q = probability of success=0.85
r=3
Formula :[tex]P(r=3)=^nC_r p^r q ^{n-r}[/tex]
[tex]P(r=3)=^{7}C_{3} (0.15)^3 (0.85)^{7-3}\\P(r=3)=\frac{7!}{3!(7-3)!} (0.15)^3 (0.85)^{7-3}\\P(r=3)=0.06166[/tex]
Standard deviation =[tex]\sqrt{n \times p \times q}[/tex]
Standard deviation =[tex]\sqrt{7 \times 0.15 \times 0.85}[/tex]
Standard deviation =0.9447
Hence The probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 separate days is 0.06166 and its standard deviation is 0.9447
