Answer:

(a) [tex]\approx[/tex] 0.32

(b) [tex]\approx[/tex] 0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a binomial experiment is carried out.

n = 4 trials

Probability of success, p = 0.25

We know that in a binomial experiment:

Probability of success + Probability of failure = 1

p + q = 1

So, q = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

Probability of 'r' number of successes in 'n' trials of a binomial experiment is given as:

[tex]P(r=x) = _nC_x\times p^x(q)^{n-x}[/tex]

(a) P(r = 0) = ?

Putting values of x = 0, p and q:

[tex]P(r=0) = _4C_0\times (0.25)^0\times (0.75)^{4-0}\\P(r=0) = 1\times 1\times (0.75)^{4}\\P(r=0) \approx 0.32[/tex]

(b) Find P(r ≥ 1)  = ?

Using complement rule:

P(r =0 ) + P(r ≥ 1)  = 1

0.32 + P(r ≥ 1)  = 1

P(r ≥ 1)  = 1 - 0.32

P(r ≥ 1)  = 0.68

So, the answer are:

(a) [tex]\approx[/tex] 0.32

(b) [tex]\approx[/tex] 0.68

In binomial experiment with 4 trials, Probabilities shown below.

          [tex]P(r=0)=0.32[/tex]      and   [tex]P(r\geq 1)=0.68[/tex]

The Probability of r number of successes in n trials is given by a binomial expression,

                 [tex]P(X=r)=^{n}C_{r}q^{n-r}p^{r}[/tex]

Where p represent probability of success and q represent probability of unsuccessful.

Number of trials, n = 4

Probability of success, p = 0.25  and  q = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

   [tex]P(r=0)=^{4}C_{0}(0.75)^{4}(0.25)^{0}=1*(0.75)^{4}*1=0.32[/tex]

[tex]P(r\geq 1)=1-P(r=0)\\\\P(r\geq 1)=1-0.32=0.68[/tex]
