Question

If an event has a probability of success p and a probability of failure q , then each term inthe expansion of(p+q)n represents a probability. For example , if a basketball player makes 60% of his free throw attempts , p= 0.6 and q= 0.4. To find the probability the basketball player will make exactly h out of k free throws, find straight C subscript straight k minus straight h end subscript straight p to the power of straight h straight q to the power of straight k minus straight h end exponent where C subscript k minus h end subscript a a coefficient of row k of Pascal’s triangle is, p is the probability of success, and q is the probability of failure.

The correct answer is: C_(k-h) (0.6)^h (0.4)^(k-h)


    ANSWER:
    Hint:
    The binomial expansion isleft parenthesis straight x plus straight y right parenthesis to the power of straight n equals sum from straight k equals 0 to straight n of   nC subscript straight k straight x to the power of straight n minus straight k end exponent straight y to the power of straight k comma text  here  end text straight n greater or equal than 0 ,
    We are asked to find the probability that the player will make exactly h out of k free throws, hence findC subscript k minus h end subscript p to the power of h q to the power of k minus h end exponent .
    Step 1 of 2:
    The given binomial expansion is (p + q) ,where p is the probability of success and q is the probability of failure.
    The value of p=0.6 and the value of q=0.4. Thus, we have:

    Step 2 of 2:
    Making h throws out of k free throws, we get it as:
    C subscript k minus h end subscript left parenthesis 0.6 right parenthesis to the power of h left parenthesis 0.4 right parenthesis to the power of k minus h end exponent
    Note:
    Probability is the ratio of the number of outcomes in an exhaustive set of equally likely outcomes that produce a given event to the total number of possible outcomes.
