Question

The probability distribution for the number of goals the Lions soccer team makes per game is given below. Number of Goals Probability 0 .05 1 .15 2 .35 3 .30 4 .15 What is the probability that in a given game the Lions will score less than 3 goals? a. .45 b. .85 c. .80 d. .55

Answer 1

Answer: d. 0.55

Explanation:

The given probability distribution:

Number of Goals 0 1 2 3 4

Probability .05 .15 .35 .30 .15

The probability that in a given game the Lions will score less than 3 goals

= probability that in a given game the Lions will score less than or equal to 2

= 0.5+0.15+0.35

= 0.55

Hence, the correct option is d. 0.55
