Question

Please tell me the way that we use Binomial Distribution for this.

Each of six randomly selected cola drinkers is given a glass containing cola S and one containing cola F. The glasses are identical in appearance except for a code on the bottom to identify the cola. Suppose there is actually no tendency among cola drinkers to prefer one cola to the other. That is, let theta = 0.5 be the probability that a selected individual prefers S. Find the probability that exactly three drinkers prefer cola S. at least three drinkers prefer cola S, at most one drinker prefers S.

Explanation / Answer

N=6

n=3

p=.5

q=1-p=.5

a) Exactly 3

     p(x=3) = c(N,n) * p^n * q^(N-n) = c(6,3) * .5^3 * .5^3

                 = 0.3125

b) At least :

    p(x>=3) = 1 - p(x<3) = 1 - 0.34375

                  = 0.6563

c) At most:

N=6

      n=1

     p(x<=1) = c(6,0) * .5^0 * .5^6 + c(6,1) * .5^1 * .5^5

                   = 0.1094
