a card is selected from a standard deck and replaced. this experiment is repeated a total of five times. find the probability of selecting exactly three clubs. a. identify a trial, a success, and a failure. b. identify n,p,q,and x. c. use the binomial probability formula.

Answer :

The probability of selecting exactly three clubs from a standard deck is 0.088. Where n = 5; p = 0.25; q = 0.75; and x = 3 . It is calculated by using binomial probability.

What is the binomial probability formula?

The binomial probability formula is

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ q⁽ⁿ⁻ˣ⁾ = [tex]\frac{n!}{(n-x)!x!} p^xq^{(n-x)}[/tex]

Where n is the number of trials, p i is the probability of success, and q is the probability of failure.

And q = 1 - p

Calculation:

It is given that, a card is selected from a standard deck and replaced.

This experiment has repeated a total of five times. i.e., trials n = 5

So, the probability of success is p = 1/4 = 0.25

(Since one card is to be selected from the five trials where each time the card is replaced)

Then, the probability of failure is q = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

And it is given that we need to find the probability of selecting exactly three clubs. So, the required random variable is x = 3.

Then, using the binomial probability formula, we get

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ q⁽ⁿ⁻ˣ⁾

⇒ P(X = 3) = ⁵C₃ p³q⁽⁵⁻³⁾ = ⁵C₃(0.25)³(0.75)² = 0.0878

On rounding off, we get the required probability as 0.088.
