Assume the random variable X has a binomial distribution with the given probability of obtaining a success. Find the following probability, given the number of trials and the probability of obtaining a success. Round your answer to four decimal places.
P(X ≥ 5), n=6, p=0.3

Respuesta :

The probability of obtaining a success is 0.010935.

Given that the probability of obtaining success is P(X>=5),n=6,p=0.3.

We are required to find the probability of obtaining a success if the probability is P(X>=5).

Probability is basically likeliness of happening an event among all the events possible.

Binomial distribution is basically the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments.

[tex](a+b)^{n} =nC_{0}p^{0} (1-p)^{n-0}+-----------nC_{n} p^{n} (1-p)^{0}[/tex]

We have to just put n=6 anr r=6 and 5 one by one to get the probability.

P(X>=5)=[tex]6C_{5}(0.3)^{5} (0.7)^{1} +6C_{6}(0.3)^{6} (0.7)^{0}[/tex]

=6!/5!1!8*0.00243*0.7+0.000729

=6*0.00243*0.7+0.000729

=0.010206+0.000729

=0.010935

Hence the probability of obtaining a success if the probability is P(X>=5) is 0.010935.
