In a carnival game called Spot the Spot, the player has to drop five disks onto a red circle. The disks must cover it completely for the player to win. The probability that a skilled player can drop one of the disks onto the exact place on the red circle that it must occupy is about 1/3. What is the probability that such a player will be able to drop

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n=5[/tex] --- disks

[tex]p = \frac{1}{3}[/tex] --- success probability

Required

The question is incomplete, as the required probability is not stated.

However, the question follows binomial distribution and the probability is calculated using:

[tex]P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Assume the question requires that we calculate the probability that he's able to drop 2 disks, the probability will be:

[tex]P(x = 2) = ^5C_2 * (\frac{1}{3})^2 * (1 - \frac{1}{3})^{5-2}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 2) = ^5C_2 * (\frac{1}{3})^2 * (\frac{2}{3})^{3}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 2) = 10 * \frac{1}{9}* \frac{8}{27}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 2) = \frac{80}{243}[/tex]

Apply the formula to the complete question
