Vedclass · Answer

(A) Let $p$ be the probability that a student is a swimmer and $q$ be the probability that a student is not a swimmer. Given $q = \frac{1}{5}$,so $p = 1 - q = 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$. We have $n = 5$ students and we want to find the probability that $x = 4$ are swimmers. Using the Binomial distribution formula $P(X = x) = ^nC_x \cdot p^x \cdot q^{n-x}$: $P(X = 4) = ^5C_4 \cdot (\frac{4}{5})^4 \cdot (\frac{1}{5})^{5-4}$ $P(X = 4) = 5 \cdot (\frac{4}{5})^4 \cdot \frac{1}{5}$ $P(X = 4) = (\frac{4}{5})^4$ However,looking at the provided options,the expression $5 	imes (\frac{4}{5})^4 	imes \frac{1}{5}$ simplifies to $(\frac{4}{5})^4$. Since this is not explicitly listed as a simplified value,we select the form that matches the binomial expansion structure.

The probability that a student is not a swimmer is $\frac{1}{5}$. The probability that out of $5$ students selected at random,$4$ are swimmers is:
