Q1. The Bank of Hawaii estimates that 4 percent of credit card holders will be insolvent at some point in their lives. The bank sent 150 new cards today. a) Calculate the expected value (average) of the number of credit card holders who cannot pay their debts? b) Calculate the standard deviation? c) Calculate the probability that all three credit card holders will not pay their debts? d) Calculate the probability that at least one of the credit card holders will not be able to pay their debts? e) Calculate the probability that at most one of the credit card holders will not be able to pay their debts?
Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.
Binomial distribution allows us to compute the probability of observing specified number of events (successes) occurring when the process is repeated a specific number of times and the outcomes would be a success or a failure.
The requirements of the binomial distribution could be specified below:
Each trial should have two possibilities. That is, it should have a success and a failure.
The number of trials in the given experiment must be fixed.
The outcomes of the trials must be independent to each other.
The probabilities of successes and failure must be same for each trail throughout the experiment.
