Maura created her own deck of cards for a magic trick. She decorated all the cards with pictures of her family members. 16% of the cards contained pictures of her brother. If Maura draws a random card from the deck 2 times, what is the probability that exactly 1 of the cards has a picture of Maura's brother? Write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.____
Q. Maura created her own deck of cards for a magic trick. She decorated all the cards with pictures of her family members. 16% of the cards contained pictures of her brother. If Maura draws a random card from the deck 2 times, what is the probability that exactly 1 of the cards has a picture of Maura's brother? Write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.____
Use binomial probability formula: Use the binomial probability formula: P(X=k)=C(n,k)⋅(p)k⋅(1−p)(n−k). Here, n=2, k=1, and p=0.16.
Calculate C(2,1): Calculate C(2,1) which is 1!×(2−1)!2!. This equals 1×12 which is 2.
Calculate (0.16)1: Now calculate (0.16)1 which is just 0.16.
Calculate (1−0.16)(2−1): Calculate (1−0.16)(2−1) which is (0.84)1 and that equals 0.84.
Multiply values together: Multiply all the values together: P(X=1)=2×0.16×0.84. This equals 0.2688.
Round to nearest thousandth: Round the answer to the nearest thousandth: 0.2688 rounded is 0.269.
