Answer :
Using the binomial distribution, there is a 0.0328 = 3.28% probability of getting at least 5 red marbles.
What is the binomial distribution formula?
The formula is:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- n is the number of trials.
- p is the probability of a success on a single trial.
For this problem, the values of these parameters are given as follows:
n = 10, p = 10/50 = 0.2.
The probability of getting at least 5 red marbles is given by:
P(X ≥ 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)
In which:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0264[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0055[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.0008[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0001[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} = 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} = 0[/tex]
Then:
P(X ≥ 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0264 + 0.0055 + 0.0008 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0 = 0.0328.
0.0328 = 3.28% probability of getting at least 5 red marbles.
