Statistical & Numerical Methods Using C++: Master of Computer Application (MCA) - Semester 3

The document is an assignment from a Statistical and Numerical Methods Using C++ course. It contains the solution to a probability question asking to find the chance of at least 4 successes in 6 trials of an experiment that succeeds twice as often as it fails. The solution calculates this as 6 ways to choose which 4 of the 6 trials succeed, with each success having a 2/3 probability and the failure having a 1/3 probability, for a total probability of 6*((2/3)^4)*(1/3).

Statistical & Numerical Methods Using C++


Assignment Set 1

Que 1. An experiment succeeds twice as often as it fails . Find the chance that in the next six trials there will be atleast four successes.

Solution: An experiment succeeds twice as often as it fails. i.e. the probability of its success is 2/3 and the probability of its failure is 1/3. In the next 6 trials the experiment needs to succeed in 4 out of the 6 trials. 4 out of the 6 trials in which it succeeds could be selected in 6C4 ways = 6 ways. And as 4 of them are successes, they have a probability of 2/3 and the one that is a failure will have a probability of 1/3. Hence, the required probability = 6*((2/3)^4)*(1/3)
