I'm fishing. The probability of catching a fish on each cast of my rod (each attempt) is 0.23. Each attempt is independent. If I made 12 attempts and wanted to find the probability that I caught 2 or fewer fish, is this a geometric or binomial situation

Answer :

Answer:

This is a binomial situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each attempt, there are only two possible outcomes. Either you catch a fish, or you do not. This can mean that either we have a binomial distribution, or a geometric.

However, each attempt is independent, which means that in each attempt, the probability of catching a fish is the same, and that this is a binomial situation.

The probability of catching a fish on each cast of my rod is a binomial distribution.

 

  • From the question, we can see that there are two possibilities which are whether you catch a fish or not. This gives two possibilities showing that we have a binomial distribution.

 

  • However, each attempt is independent, which means that one attempt does not affect the other. This is therefore a binomial situation.

Hence the probability of catching a fish on each cast of my rod is a binomial distribution.
