Problem

point(s) possible A binomial probability experiment is conducted with the given parameters. Compute the probability of $x$ successes in the $n$ independent trials of the experiment. \[ n=9, p=0.8, x \leq 3 \] The probability of $x \leq 3$ successes is $\square$. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Time Remaining: 00:33:53

Solution

Step 1 :A binomial probability experiment is conducted with the parameters \(n=9\), \(p=0.8\), and we are asked to compute the probability of \(x \leq 3\) successes.

Step 2 :We calculate the probability for each value of \(x\) in the range 0 to 3 using the binomial probability mass function (pmf).

Step 3 :The calculated probabilities for \(x=0\), \(x=1\), \(x=2\), and \(x=3\) are approximately \(5.12 \times 10^{-7}\), \(1.84 \times 10^{-5}\), \(0.000294912\), and \(0.002752512\) respectively.

Step 4 :We sum these probabilities to get the total probability of \(x \leq 3\).

Step 5 :The total probability is approximately \(0.003066368\).

Step 6 :We round this to four decimal places as needed, giving a final answer of \(\boxed{0.0031}\).
