-7-3. In the submarine problem of Example 1.7-1, find the probabilities of sinking the carrier when fewer (N = 2) or more (N = 4) torpedoes are fired. This will be demonstrated by the following example (Example 1.7-1) –A submarine attempts to sink an aircraft carrier. It will be successful only if two or more torpedoes hit the carrier. If the sub fires three torpedoes and the probability of a hit is 0.4 for each torpedo, what is the probability that the carrier will be sunk?

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Question

1.7-3. In the submarine problem of Example 1.7-1, find the probabilities of sinking
the carrier when fewer (N = 2) or more (N = 4) torpedoes are fired.
This will be demonstrated by the following example (Example 1.7-1) –A submarine attempts to sink
an aircraft carrier. It will be successful only if two or more torpedoes hit the carrier. If the sub fires
three torpedoes and the probability of a hit is 0.4 for each torpedo, what is the probability that the
carrier will be sunk?

In an amusement arcade there is a horse race with horses coloured red, yellow and green. Only one player can play this game at any time and the outcomes of each race are independent of previous races. You can either bet 10p or 20p. If you bet 10p then each horse is equally likely to win. If you bet 20p the corresponding probabilities are 50%, 30% and 20%, respectively. Three times as many people bet 10p as do 20p. Given red wins, what is the probability it had been a 20p bet? 0.333 0.300 0.313 0.298
