Satya, nina, and iana each have a 3/4 chance of going to café georgia for an afternoon coffee at 1:00pm. Bohan will only go to café georgia for a coffee if at least one of his friends is at the café. What is the probability that bohan goes to café georgia for a coffee today?.

Sagot :

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.9844 = 98.44% probability that bohan goes to café georgia for a coffee today.

For each friend, there are only two possible outcomes, either they go to the cafe, or they do not. The probability of a friend going to the cafe is independent of any other friend, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

What is the binomial distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • There are 3 friends, hence n = 3.
  • They all go to the cafe with a 3/4 probability, hence p = 3/4 = 0.75.

The probability at least one goes is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.75)^{0}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.0156[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0156 = 0.9844[/tex]

0.9844 = 98.44% probability that bohan goes to café georgia for a coffee today.
