7.3 Exercise 14

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider a Bernoulli sequence with probability p=0.53p = 0 . 53 of success on any component trial.

  1. The probability the fourth success will occur no later than the tenth trial is determined by the negative binomial distribution. Use the procedure nbinom to calculate this probability .
  2. Calculate this probability using the binomial distribution.
