Think about a situation in your life that can be modeled by
the binomial probability distribution; it is ok to come up with a
rough estimate of the probability of a success in your situation.
For example, my cell phone drops my calls roughly 10% of the time
(a “success” in this situation is a dropped call, and a “failure”
is an un-dropped call; the probability of a success is p=0.10); I
made 10 phone calls last month (fixed number of trials is n=10);
whether or not a phone call gets dropped is independent of any
other phone call I make. The probability of 4 successes, or 4
dropped calls, is P(4)=10!6!4!⋅(0.1)4⋅(0.9)6=0.0112
P(4)=10!6!4!.(0.1)4⋅(0.9)6=0.0112
Tell us the binomial situation you come up with and calculate
the probability of 4 successes out of 10 trials (it is fine to
estimate the probability of one success like I did above).
