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

Question 1 of 8

No calculator

A result check is performed independently for each entry

The probability of an accepted result on each entry is \(p=\frac{2}{3}\), and the probability of a rejected result is \(q=\frac{1}{3}\). The process is repeated for 4 independent entries

Let \(X\) be the number of successes

The event is \(1\le X< 3\)

Binomial probability distribution
\(x\)\(\Pr(X=x)\)
\(0\)\(\frac{1}{81}\)
\(1\)\(\square\)
\(2\)\(\frac{8}{27}\)
\(3\)\(\frac{32}{81}\)
\(4\)\(\frac{16}{81}\)
(a)1 mark

Which success-count set matches the displayed event?

(b)1 mark

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

(c)1 mark

Determine the exact probability for \(1\le X< 3\)
