Answer:
Explanation:
To find P(x<4), we need to use the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the binomial distribution.
For N = 6 and p = 0.3, the probability mass function (PMF) is:
P(X = k) = (6 choose k) * 0.3^k * 0.7^(6-k)
where (6 choose k) is the binomial coefficient.
Using this formula, we can find the probabilities for each value of X less than 4:
P(X = 0) = (6 choose 0) * 0.3^0 * 0.7^6 ≈ 0.1176
P(X = 1) = (6 choose 1) * 0.3^1 * 0.7^5 ≈ 0.3025
P(X = 2) = (6 choose 2) * 0.3^2 * 0.7^4 ≈ 0.3241
P(X = 3) = (6 choose 3) * 0.3^3 * 0.7^3 ≈ 0.1852
Therefore, P(x<4) is the sum of these probabilities:
P(x<4) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) ≈ 0.9294
So the probability of getting less than 4 successes in 6 trials with a success probability of 0.3 is approximately 0.9294.
