1. 68
2. 88
3. 110
4. 132

Respuesta :

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the spinner is expected to have to spin approximately 132 times for a multiple of 5 to be spun 22 times, hence option 4 is correct.

What is the binomial probability distribution?

It is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial.

The expected number of trials until q successes is:

[tex]E_f(X) = \frac{q}{p}[/tex]

In this problem:

  • We want 22 successes, hence q = 22.
  • 2 out of 12 sections(5 and 10) are multiples of 5, hence p = 1/6.

Then:

[tex]E_f(X) = \frac{q}{p} = \frac{22}{\frac{1}{6}} = 22 \times 6 = 132[/tex]

Hence option 4 is correct.
