Binomial Probabilities: Suppose you go on a trip to Las Vegas. You stop at a slot machine where there is a 0.008 probability of winning the jackpot on a single turn. You decide to play the slot machine 2,000 times. For each problem, circle the appropriate numbers on the number line, then calculate the probability and round all answers to 4 decimals. Make sure you write down what you entered into the calculator. A. P(win exactly four times) = _________________ ...
. A particular slot machine at a casino has a p = .05 chance of winning for each play. Successive plays of the machine are independent. On a particular day, this machine is played 25 times. (a) Find the probability that there is at most 1 win among the 25 plays. (b) Find the exact probability that there between 2 and 5 wins among the 25 plays.

You walk up to the 2 machines but you dont know which is which, so your chance of selecting the higher chance machine is 50% a....
Slot machines are now video games, with winning determined by electronic random number generators. In the old days, slot machines were like this: you pull the lever to spin three wheels; each wheel has 25 symbols, all equally likely to show when the wheel stops spinning; the three wheels are independent of each other. Suppose that the middle wheel has 17 bells among its 25 symbols, and the left and right wheels have 1 bell each. (a) You win the...
The casino has lots of data on its old slot machines and your boss tells you that they have averaged $2,450 per month in earning for the casino. Your boss wants to knoww hether (based on your data—collected in part 2) the new machines you have purchased are significantly different from the old ones. You decide to perform a hypothesis test using an alpha = 0.05 to find out. n=100 Standard deviation=200 xbar=2500 1. What type of test would you...
You go to the casino and play roulette. You decide to place bets that the ball will land on the number 18. On a roulette wheel there are the number 1-36,0 and '00'. Thus the likelihood that you win any one spin is 1 in 38 You decide to play 20 times, thus you are in Binomial Land and the potential results of your gambling will be drawn from a binomial distribution B(20,1/38). What is the probability that you win:
