Question 18 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-2-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)

At a carnival game, the chance of winning a prize is 0.45. Elijah plays the game 5 times. What is the probability that he wins 1 prize in 5 games?

Answer
A
0.04
B
0.05
C
0.21
D
0.45

Explanation

Use the binomial probability for exactly 1 win in 5 games: choose which of the 5 games is a win, then multiply by the probability of that win and four losses. This gives 5 × 0.45 × (1 − 0.45)^4 = 5 × 0.45 × 0.55^4 ≈ 0.206, which rounds to 0.21. So the correct choice is 0.21.
