A slot machine at a hotel is configured so that there is a 1/1200 probability of winning the jackpot on any individual trial. If a guest plays the slot machine 6 times, find the probability of exactly 2 jackpots. If a guest told the hotel manager that she had hit two jackpots in 6 plays of the slot machine, would the manager be surprised?

The probability is approximately one in a million (0.001% ).

It's a very little probability, so the manager would be really surprised.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have for this question to calculate with a binomial random variable, with n=6 and p=1/1200=0.00083 .

We have to calculate the probability of getting 2 hits in the sample of size 6.

The probability is approximately one in a million (0.001% ).

It's a very little probability, so the manager would be really surprised.

2^y = ln 5, or   y(ln 2) = ln 5.   solving for y,   y = (ln 5) / (ln 2).   y=5

step-by-step explanation:

the easiest way to do these would be to solve the equations. if you can solve the equation than you can solve these problems.
