If i throw 20 knifes what is the probability that i will hit my assistant exactly 3 out of those twenty times?

Sagot :

The probability that knife will hit assistant exactly 3 out of 20 times is  0.001425.

According to the given question.

Number of times a kinfe is thrown = 20

Let p denotes the probability that knife will hits the assistant. And q denotes the probability that knife will not hit the assistant.

so,

p = 1/20

q = 1 - 1/20 = 19/20

Therefore,

The probability that knife will hit assiant exactly 3 out of 20 times

[tex]= ^{20}C_{3} ( \frac{1}{20}) ^{3} (\frac{1}{19} )^{17}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{20!}{3!17!} (0.05)^{3} (0.0526)^{17}[/tex]

=

Hence, the probability that knife will hit assistant exactly 3 out of 20 times is  0.001425.
