The probability of winning a particular lottery game is 0.06. Suppose a person plays the game 10 times. Find the probability the player wins exactly 3 times out of the 10 plays of the game.

Step 1
Since the player either wins or loses each time they play the game, we can use the binomial distribution. The formula for the probability of getting exactly k successes in n independent trials, each with probability of success p, is: P(k) = (n choose k) * p^k * Show more…

An instant lottery game gives you probability 0.03 of winning on any one play. Plays are independent of each other. If you play five times, what is the probability that you win on none of your plays? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

The probability that you will win a certain game is 0.3. If you play the game 20 times, what is the probability that you will win at least 8 times? What is the probability that you will win 3 or fewer times? What is the mean of this binomial distribution?
