Key Concept: Probability, Real-life Application
c) 0.441
[Solution Description]
To solve this problem, we use the binomial probability formula, which is given by:
$P(k) = C(n, k) \times p^k \times (1-p)^{n-k}$
where:
- $n$ is the number of trials (days),
- $k$ is the number of successful trials (days it rains),
- $p$ is the probability of success (rain).
Here, $n = 3$, $k = 1$, and $p = 0.3$.
Step 1: Calculate the combination $C(3, 1)$:
$C(3, 1) = 3$
Step 2: Calculate $p^k$:
$0.3^1 = 0.3$
Step 3: Calculate $(1-p)^{n-k}$:
$(1-0.3)^{3-1} = 0.7^2 = 0.49$
Step 4: Multiply all the terms together:
$P(1) = 3 \times 0.3 \times 0.49 = 0.441$
So, the probability that it rains on exactly one of the three days is 0.441.
Your Answer is correct.
