For the given probability of success $p$ on each trial, find the probability of $x$ successes in $n$ trials. $$ x=3, n=5, p=0.6 $$
Added by Dale G.
Step 1
Plugging in the given values, we get: $$P(3) = \binom{5}{3} (0.6)^3 (0.4)^2$$ Using a calculator or by hand, we can simplify this expression: $$P(3) = \frac{5!}{3!2!} (0.6)^3 (0.4)^2 = 0.3456$$ Show more…
