The probability that an archer hits the target is p = 0.9, so the probability that he misses the target is q = 0.1. It is known that in this situation the probability that the archer hits the target exactly r times in n attempts is given by the term containing pr in the binomial expansion of (p+q)^n. Find the probability that the archer hits the target exactly three times in six attempts.

In a digital communication channel, assume that the number of bits received in error can be modeled by a binomial random variable, and assume that the probability that a bit is received in error is 0.0001. If 150,000 bits are transmitted, what is the probability that errors are between 10 and 18? How to compute P(X=10)= (150000c10)(0.0001)10(1-0.0001)150000-10

Your friend is pregnant with non-identical triplets. Calculate the probability of each possible combination of the number of sons and daughters that she could have. Note that the birth order is not specified. Express all answers as fractions reduced to the lowest terms, with no spaces (e.g., 1/6). The probability that she will have 3 sons is . The probability that she will have 3 daughters is . The probability that she will have 2 sons and 1 daughter is . The probability that she will have 1 son and 2 daughters is
If you flip a coin, there is a 1/2 chance you will receive a heads. If you flip a coin twice, you have to use the product rule to multiply each independent flip to find out what the odds of getting two heads in a row. (1/2 x 1/2=1/4.) By this rule, the odds of flipping a coin 13 times in a row twice and getting the exact same thing both times are 213. Mathematically, what are the chances that any two frog siblings will receive exactly the same complement of chromosomes due to random independent assortment (not counting random genetic recombination) Remember to add together the odds for both egg and sperm. What is this number for a human zygote? What does this tell you about the odds of being identical to one of your siblings, even without taking into account recombination (and not counting identical twins)?
