Binomial Probability

Question 8 • College Prep Math B - IC26

Suppose the probability of your hitting the bull’s-eye on a dartboard is 0.06. What is the probability of getting exactly two bull’s-eyes when you throw five darts?

Answer
A
0.0299
B
0.036
C
10
D
0.0318

Explanation

Use the binomial probability for exactly 2 bull’s-eyes in 5 throws: choose which 2 throws hit, then multiply by the probabilities of 2 hits and 3 misses. This gives C(5,2) × 0.06² × 0.94³ = 10 × 0.0036 × 0.830584 ≈ 0.0299, so the best answer is 0.0299.
