Math Problem Statement
A binomial experiment with probability of success p=0.65 and n= 5 trials is conducted. What is the probability that the experiment results in exactly 4 successes?
Do not round your intermediate computations, and round your answer to three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
Solution
To calculate the probability of exactly 4 successes in a binomial experiment, we can use the binomial probability formula:
Where:
- (number of trials)
- (number of successes)
- (probability of success)
- (probability of failure)
Step 1: Calculate the binomial coefficient
Step 2: Apply the binomial formula
Let me calculate that.The probability of getting exactly 4 successes in the binomial experiment is , rounded to three decimal places.
