For the answer to the question above the probability of exactly x successes is
P(X=x)=b(x;n,p) = (nCx)(p^x)((1-p)^(n-x))
where nCx is number of combinations of n things taken x at a time, and "^" means exponentiation.
n = 10
p = 0.2

P(X=7) = 10C7*(0.2^7)*(0.8^3) = 0.00079
P(X=8) = 10C8*(0.2^8)*(0.8^2) = 0.00007
P(X=9) = 10C9*(0.2^9)*(0.8^1) = 0.00000
P(X=10) = 10C10*(0.2^10)*(0.8^0) = 0.00000

.00079 + .00007 + 0 + 0 = .00086 = .0009 rounded

A middle school chess club has 5 members: Adam, Bradley, Carol, Dave, and Ella. Two students from the club will be selected at r

Answer:

Probability that Adam and Ella will be selected:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{10}=0.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities

The probability of a random event E to occur is a real number between 0 and 1, both inclusive, where 0 indicates an impossible event and 1 a sure event. There are many techniques to compute probabilities depending on the particular situation and distribution.

This question will be solved by simple calculations and logic, given its simplicity. We know the middle school chess club has 5 members: Adam, Bradley, Carol, Dave, and Ella. Two of them are going to be selected at random to participate in the county chess tournament. We can calculate the number of different ways it can be done without any restriction. It's called the sample space.

The sample space of this event is the combination of 5 members regardless of their position. If {a,b,c,d,e} are the five members, then the possible combinations are {ab,ac,ad,ae,bc,bd,be,cd,ce,de}. Notice that there are only 10 possibilities because the combination ab is the same as ba since it's the same team for the tournament.

We can see there is only one combination of two specific letters out of 10. If a=Adam and e=Ella, only one combination is ae, the other 9 don't include both members, so the probability is

$\displaystyle P(ae)=\frac{1}{10}=0.1$
