In: Statistics and Probability
Assume that when shopping for a Nintendo Switch, the probability of finding the Switch at any given store is .25. We’ll assume that this is modeled by a binomial distribution that uses the formula:
P(x successes in n trials) = nCx · p x · (1 − p) n−x Assuming that n = 9 people go shopping for the Switch,
(a) what is the probability that 3 people will find the switch?
(b) what is the probability that at least 2 people will find the Switch?
(c) what is the expected number (µ) of the 9 people that can find the Switch when going shopping?
