Question

A community college has 150 word processors. The probability that any one of them will require repair on a given day is 0.025. To find the probability that exactly 25 of the word processors will require repair, one will use what type of probability distribution?

Answer 1

Binomial Distribution

Explanation:

In this case there are only two possible outcomes that is either the processor requires repair or does not require.

In such cases binomial distribution is beneficial to use.

Binomial Distribution is simply the probability of failure or success in an experiment that is repeated multiple times.

for binomial to be used following three conditions are to be used:

1. Fixed number of trails

2. Each trial or observation is independent

3. probability of success is exactly same
