Bionomial-Geometric Distributions

Is this binomial experiment? Shuffle a deck of 52 cards. Turn over the top card. Do not replace the card. Repeat the process 5 times. Let X = the card you observe.

• Yes
• No, the trials are not independent.
• No, there are more than 2 outcomes

An algebra 2 test has 6 multiple choice questions with four choices with one correct answer each. If we just randomly guess on each of the 6 questions, what is the probability that you get exactly 3 questions correct? (You need to figure out the p value first. It is not given to you.)

• 0.962
• 0.132
• 0.831

Bob is taking a 100 question test.  They have a 90 % probability of getting any one question correct.  WHICH IS THE CORRECT FORMULA TO FIND OUT THE PROBABILITY that they will answer EXACTLY 70  questions correctly?

• ₁₀₀C₇₀   ( 0.18  )³⁰ ( 0.90  )⁷⁰
  
• ₁₀₀C₇₀   ( 0.10  )³⁰ ( 0.90  )⁶⁰
• ₁₀₀C₇₀   ( 0.10  )³⁰ ( 0.90  )⁷⁰
• ₉₉C₇₀   ( 0.10  )³⁰ ( 0.90  )⁷⁰

If we want to calculate the probability of rolling a 6 for the first time on the 6^th roll of a die, would we use the geometric or the binomial distribution?

• geometric

• binomial

Which of the following is false about binomial probabilities?

• Their distributions are approximately symmetric.
• Trials must be fixed.
• Events musts be independent.
• The probability of success must be 0.50

Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Binomial distribution?

• All trials must be independent.
• Each trial must be classified as a success or a failure.
• All trials are dependent on each other.
• The number of successes in the trials is counted.

The owner of a pet store is trying to decide whether to discontinue selling specialty clothes for pets. She suspects that only 4% of the customers buy specialty clothes for their pets. What is the probability that she does NOT sell a garment until the 7th customer? Assume each customer is independent.
