Answer:
[tex]\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}[/tex]
P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707
P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of a binomial mass distribution can be expressed with the formula:
[tex]\mathtt{P(X=x) =(^{n}_{x} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{P(X=x) =(\dfrac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}[/tex]
where;
n = 8 and π = 0.36
For x = 5
The probability [tex]\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(8-5)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (1-0.36)^{8-5}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(3)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (0.64)^{3}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5!}{5!(3)!} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 }{3 \times 2 \times 1} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{P(X=5) =({8 \times 7 } ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{P(X=5) =0.0887645}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}[/tex] to 4 decimal places
b. x ≤ 5
The probability of P ( x ≤ 5)[tex]\mathtt{P(x \leq 5) = P(x = 0)+ P(x = 1)+ P(x = 2)+ P(x = 3)+ P(x = 4)+ P(x = 5})[/tex]
[tex]{P(x \leq 5) = ( \dfrac{8!}{0!(8!)} \times (0.36)^0 \times (1-0.36)^8 \ ) + \dfrac{8!}{1!(7!)} \times (0.36)^1 \times (1-0.36)^7 \ +[/tex][tex]\dfrac{8!}{2!(6!)} \times (0.36)^2 \times (1-0.36)^6 \ + \dfrac{8!}{3!(5!)} \times (0.36)^3 \times (1-0.36)^5 + \dfrac{8!}{4!(4!)} \times (0.36)^4 \times (1-0.36)^4 \ + \dfrac{8!}{5!(3!)} \times (0.36)^5 \times (1-0.36)^3 \ )[/tex]
P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.0281+0.1267+0.2494+0.2805+0.1972+0.0888
P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707
c. x ≥ 6
The probability of P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - P( x ≤ 5 )
P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - 0.9707
P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293
