Binomial Distribution Problems

The document discusses three probability problems: calculating the possible scores on a 5 question multiple choice quiz with random guessing, finding the probability of 7 or more members attending a committee meeting where individual attendance is 90%, and determining the minimum number of sales needed for 88% certainty on a typical day where a salesman meets 30 customers and has a 20% chance of making a sale to each.

Probability distribution :Binomial Distribution

Problem

1.A student writes a five question multiple-choice quiz. Each question has four possible
responses. The student guesses at random for each question. Calculate the probability for
each possible score on the test from 0 to 5.
2.There are 10 members on a committee. The probability of any member attending a
randomly chosen meeting is 0.9. The committee cannot do business if more than 3 members
are absent. What is the probability that 7 or more members will be present on a given date?
3.A salesman has a 20% probability of making a sale to any customer who enters his
department. On a typical day, he will meet 30 customers. What minimum number of sales
will he have an 88% certainty of making for any given day?

1.ANS:

2. ANS:
The total probability is the sum of the probabilities for having 7, 8, 9 or 10 members present.
The total probability is 0.9872.

3.ANS:
Let X represent the number of sales made. Calculate the probability for each value of X
starting at 0. Once we have a total probability of 10% for the first n values, then we will have
a 90% probability that X > n.
