Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 115E

The probability is 0.255 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Number of trials ( n ) = 4

Probability of success (p)=14=0.25

Calculation:

Consider, X is a random variable that depicts the number of games that are won follows the binomial distribution with n = 4 and p = 0.25.

The probability that Jeff will play exactly 5 timescan be calculated as:

  P(X=5)=(55)(0.25)5(10.25)55=1×(0.25)5×(10.25)0=0.255

Thus, the required probability is 0.255 .

Hence, the correct option is (a).
