The probability of getting exactly 8 hits in his next 20 at-bats is 0.153 (Round off to the nearest thousandth.).
The correct option is (c)
What is Binomial distribution?
Binomial distribution can be thought of as simply the probability of a SUCCESS or FAILURE outcome in an experiment or survey that is repeated multiple times.
Probability= [tex]C^{n}_r\; p^{r} \;q^{(n-r)[/tex]
where, n= number of trial,
r= number of success desire,
p= probability of success,
q= probability of Failure
probability of success = 0.34
To find the probability of winning exactly 8 hits in next 20 at-bats we find
dbinom (8, 20, 0.34)
Since p= 0.34
q= 1-p
= 1-0.34
= 0.66
n= 20, r=8
Using Binomial Distribution, we get
Probability= [tex]C^{n}_r\; p^{r} \;q^{(n-r)[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} p^{r}\; q^{(n-r)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{20!}{8!(20-8)!} (0.34)^{8}\; (0.66)^{(20-8)}[/tex]
= 125970 x 0.0001785794 x 0.00683168
= 0.1536830
≈ 0.153 (Round off to the nearest thousandth.)
Hence, the probability of getting exactly 8 hits in his next 20 at-bats is 0.153.
