Binomial Distribution

Question 4 • Common Core Algebra II - MA3111 B-IC

Thirty-three percent of all students at a high school like beef stew. Out of 300 students, 40 are selected randomly and asked whether they liked beef stew. If liking beef stew is a success, what is the probability of a failure for this binomial experiment?

Answer
A
0.33
B
0.40
C
0.57
D
0.67

Explanation

A success is a student who likes beef stew, so the probability of success is 0.33. A failure is a student who does not like it, so its probability is 1 − 0.33 = 0.67. Therefore, the probability of failure is 0.67, choice D.
