Cumulative, at-least-one and conditional probabilities of a binomial variable

Question 1 of 8

No calculator

A response test is carried out independently for each participant

The probability of a response in the target category on each test is \(p=\frac{1}{4}\), and the probability of a response outside the target category is \(q=\frac{3}{4}\). The process is repeated for 4 independent tests

Let \(X\) be the number of successes

The event is \(X\le 2\)

Binomial probability distribution
\(x\)\(\Pr(X=x)\)
\(0\)\(\square\)
\(1\)\(\square\)
\(2\)\(\frac{27}{128}\)
\(3\)\(\frac{3}{64}\)
\(4\)\(\frac{1}{256}\)
(a)1 mark

Which success-count set matches the displayed event?

(b)2 marks

Complete the missing probabilities for the included success counts in the table

(c)1 mark

Determine the exact probability for \(X\le 2\)
