(a)
Answer to Problem 8.65E
Explanation of Solution
Note that from Galton’s board:
The ball ends up in Slot A, if the ball moved to the right of the peg zero times and the ball moved to the left of the peg six times.
Evaluate at
(b)
To calculate the probability that a ball lands in Slot C.
(b)
Answer to Problem 8.65E
Explanation of Solution
Note that from Galton’s board:
The ball ends up in Slot C, if the ball moved to the right of the peg two times and the ball moved to the left of the peg four times.
Evaluate at
(c)
To explain in which slot does the ball most likely to land.
(c)
Answer to Problem 8.65E
Ball is most likely to land in Slot C.
Explanation of Solution
To calculate which ball is most likely to land we need to see the probabilities of both from part (a) and (b),
Thus we can see that the probability of Slot C is more than the probability of Slot A. thus, we know that the chances of ball to land in Slot C is more than Slot A.
