Let in a Binomial distribution, consisting of independent trials, probabilities of exactly and successes be and respectively. Then the probability of getting exactly successes is equal to:
Detrmine the probability of getting exactly successes
Let probability of one success be denoted by and probability of two successes be denoted by . Therefore,
Here, probability of success for any trial
probability of failure for any trial
Total number of independent trials
Now divide equation by we get,
We also know that . Therefore,
Therefore,
Now probability of three successes can be calculated as follows,
Therefore the probability of getting exactly successes is equal to .
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
