Using the binomial probability relation, the probability of the following events are :

  • P(x = 5) = 0.2076
  • P(x > 5) = 0.6785
  • P(x ≤ 5) = 0.3215

Using the relation :

P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

  • Probability of success, p = 0.75
  • q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
  • Number of trials, n = 8

Probability of exactly 5 :

P(x = 5) = 8C5 × 0.75^5 × 0.25^3

P(x = 5) = 0.2076

2.) Probability of selecting more than 5 :

P(x > 5) = p(6) + p(7) + p(8)

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(x > 5) = 0.6785

3.)

Probability at most 5 :

P(x ≤ 5) = p(0) + p(1) + p(2) + p(3) + p(4) + p(5)

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(x ≤ 5) = 0.3215

Therefore, the probability of selecting at most 5 is 0.3215
