Consider a deck of cards. Suppose we are drawing ten cards with replacement. What is the probabilityof finding at least 4 face cards?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

A deck of cards contains 52 cards. 12 cards are face cards.

Since 10 cards are drawn with replacement, then the probability of selecting a card every time is equal.

The probability of selecting a face card is 

=Total number of ways a face card is drawn  Total number of ways a card is drawn=121521=1252

 

Suppose, X be the number of face cards drawn out of 10 draws.

Then X follows Binomial distribution with parametres n=10,  p=1252.

Hence, the probability mass function is 

PX=x=10x 1252x1-1252(10-x), x=0,1,2..10.               =10x 1252x4052(10-x), x=0,1,2....10.
