Use the multinomial formula and find the probabilities for each. Round your answers to at least three decimal places. n=6, X=1, X=2, X3=3, P1=0.4, P2=0.3, P3=0.3. The probability for the given multinomial is___. 

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduce the given information

Given information,

n = 6, X1 = 1, X2 = 2, X3 = 3,

 P1 = 0.4, P2 = 0.3, P3 = 0.3

Using formula (Multinomial probability),

P left parenthesis X subscript 1 equals x subscript 1 comma.. comma X subscript K equals x subscript k right parenthesis equals fraction numerator n factorial over denominator x subscript 1 factorial... x subscript k factorial end fraction. left parenthesis p subscript 1 right parenthesis to the power of x subscript 1 end exponent... left parenthesis p subscript k right parenthesis to the power of x subscript k end exponent
