Chapter 12.7, Problem 29PPS

To determine

To find :The value of most likely number of success.

Answer to Problem 29PPS

  $4.8$

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

We know that, A binomial distribution has $n$ trials and $p$ is probability of success, $n=8,p=0.6$

Calculation:

Probability of $x$ successes in $n$ independent trials is

  $p(x)=c(n,x)s^x{f}^{n-x}$

Where

  $s$ is probability of success and

  $f$ is probability of failure and

  $\begin{array}{l}s+f=1\\ p(x)=\end{array}$
