13.2 Probability in Binomial Distribution
Example 1 :
In a town, the probability that rain will fall on any day is 0.3. Calculate the probabilitythat rain will fall on exactly 2 days in a certain week.
Solution :
Step 1 : Identify the parameters:
p = 0.3q = 1 – 0.3 = 0.7r = 2n = 7
Step 2 : Substitute into the formula
P(X = r) = n C r p r q rn
P(X = 2) = 7 C 2 (0.3) 2 (0.7) 27
= (21)x(0.09)x(0.1681)
= 0.3177
Example 2 :
The probability that a durian chosen at random from a basket is rotten is20
1. Calculate
the probability that exactly 3 durians are rotten if a sample of 10 durians is chosen.
P(X = r) = n C r p r q rn
WhereP = probabilityX = binomial discrete random variabler = number of successes (r = 0, 1, 2, …., n)n = number of trialsp = probability of success (0 < p < 1)q = probability of failure (q = 1 - p)

Example 3 :
65% of Form Five students of a school pass the SPM Additional Mathematics paper. If asample of 5 student is chosen at random, calculate the probability that all of them pass theSPM Additional Mathematics paper.
Solution :
Step 1 : Identify the parameters:
p = 65% = 0.65q = 1 – 0.65 = 0.35r = 5n = 5
Step 2 : Substitute into the formula
P(X = r) = n C r p r q rn
P(X = 5) = 5 C 5 (0.65) 5 (0.35) 55
= (1)x(0.116)x(1)

Example 4 :
The probability that Danial will win a tennis competition is 0.8. If a total of 5 games are played,find the probability that Danial will win
(a) exactly 3 games,(b) at least three games,(c) not more than 3 games.
Solution :
(a) P(X = r) = n C r p r q rn
P(X = 3) = 5 C 3 (0.8) 3 (0.2) 2
= (10)x(0.512)x(0.04)
= 0.2048
(b) P(X 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)
= [ 5 C 3 (0.8) 3 (0.2) 2 ] + [ 5 C 4 (0.8) 4 (0.2) 1 ] + [ 5 C 5 (0.8) 5 (0.2) 0 ]
= 0.2048 + 0.4096 + 0.3277
= 0.9421
(c) P(X 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)
= [ 5 C 0 (0.8) 0 (0.2) 5 ] + [ 5 C 1 (0.8)1 (0.2) 4 ] + [ 5 C 2 (0.8) 2 (0.2) 3 ] + [ 5 C 3 (0.8) 3 (0.2) 2 ]
= 0.00032 + 0.0064 + 0.0512 + 0.2048
= 0.2627
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
(d) P(X 3) = 1 - P(X = 4) - P(X = 5)
= 1 - 0.4096 - 0.3277
= 0.2627
