Answer:
a. .0554
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
The probability of success is .06.
This means that [tex]p = 0.06[/tex]
What is the probability of two successes in seven trials?
This is P(X = 2) when n = 7. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{7,2}.(0.06)^{2}.(0.94)^{5} = 0.054[/tex]
The correct answer is given by option a.
