Example 1 · 4 marks · multi-part
30% of students at a school walk to school. A random sample of 10 students is chosen. Let be the number who walk.
Example 2 · 1 mark · multiple choice
A fair coin is tossed 8 times. What is the probability of getting at most 2 heads, correct to four decimal places?
- A0.1445
- B0.1094
- C0.8555
- D0.0352
Example 3 · 3 marks · numerical answer
The probability that a component is faulty is 0.1, independently. How many components must be tested so that the probability of finding at least one faulty component is greater than 0.95?
