Identify n,x,p,and q

Question

Based on a survey, assume that 46 % of consumers are comfortable having drones deliver their purchases. Suppose that we want to find the probability that when five consumers are randomly selected, exactly three of them are comfortable with delivery drones. Identify the values of n,x p,and q

Answer 1

The number of trials in 5; the number of successes we are interested in is 3; the probability of success on any one trial is 0.46; the probability of failure on any one trial is 0.54 (1 - 0,46. n = 5, x = 3, p = 0.46, q = 0.54. Some writers use k instead of x.

Answer 2

n=5 customers

x=3 are comfortable with delivery drones

p=0.46 is the probability that any randomly selected customer shall be comfortable with delivery drones

q = 1-p = 1 - 0.46 = 0.54 is the probability that any randomly selected customer is NOT comfortable with

the delivery drones
