The answer is 11.8

Answer 1

11.8%

Explanation:

Here in this question, we want to find the probability of no success in the binomial experiment for 6 trials.

Let p = probability of success = 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

q = probability of failure = 1-p = 1-0.3 = 0.7

Now to calculate the probability, we shall need to use the Bernoulli approximation of the binomial theorem.

That would be;

P(X = 0) = 6C0 p^0 q^6

6C0 is pronounced six combination zero

= 6 * 0.3^0 * 0.7^6 = 1 * 1 * 0.117649 = 0.117649

This is approximately 0.1176

If we convert this to percentage we have 11.76%

But we want our answer rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent and that is 11.8%
