In: Statistics and Probability
Suppose we have a 20% chance of winning a game and play 30 times. What is the probability we win the game 4-13 times (note: 4 and 13 are included in the interval)? Show your work. If you use a calculator, you must identify the list(s) and/or function(s), with input(s), you used. Give your answer to three decimal places.
Here we see that n=30 is constant, p=0.20 is same for all, events are independent and only two outcomes
Hence binomial distribution is satisfied
| x | P(x)=BINOMDIST(x,n,p,0) |
| 0 | 0.0012 |
| 1 | 0.0093 |
| 2 | 0.0337 |
| 3 | 0.0785 |
| 4 | 0.1325 |
| 5 | 0.1723 |
| 6 | 0.1795 |
| 7 | 0.1538 |
| 8 | 0.1106 |
| 9 | 0.0676 |
| 10 | 0.0355 |
| 11 | 0.0161 |
| 12 | 0.0064 |
| 13 | 0.0022 |
| 14 | 0.0007 |
| 15 | 0.0002 |
| 16 | 0.0000 |
| 17 | 0.0000 |
| 18 | 0.0000 |
| 19 | 0.0000 |
| 20 | 0.0000 |
| 21 | 0.0000 |
| 22 | 0.0000 |
| 23 | 0.0000 |
| 24 | 0.0000 |
| 25 | 0.0000 |
| 26 | 0.0000 |
| 27 | 0.0000 |
| 28 | 0.0000 |
| 29 | 0.0000 |
| 30 | 0.0000 |
So
Using the binomial distribution table we get
