Thread: binomal probability

probability to be fined= 0.22

suppose the employee irregularly parks on 7 deliveries, what is probab that is not fined??

Please help now!

Let X be the number of times the employee is not fined, so X is a random variable binomially distributed like this:


where 7 is the number of times the "experiment" is repeated, i.e. the number of time the employee parks irregularly and 0.78 is the probability that the driver is not fined (1-0.22).

We want the probability that he is not fined 7 times so we are looking for P(X=7).




Alternatively just understand that if the employee parks 7 times with probability 0.78 of not getting fined you can work out the total probability by simply calculating .
