bac-s-maths · France · bac-spe-maths__centres-etrangers_j1 Binomial Distribution Justify Binomial Model and State Parameters
In this part, we model the situation as follows:
  • the condition of a scooter is independent of that of the others;
  • the probability that a scooter is in good condition is equal to 0.8.

We denote $X$ the random variable which, to a batch of 15 scooters, associates the number of scooters in good condition. Since the number of scooters in the fleet is very large, the sampling of 15 scooters can be assimilated to a draw with replacement.
  1. Justify that $X$ follows a binomial distribution and specify the parameters of this distribution.
  2. Calculate the probability that all 15 scooters are in good condition.
  3. Calculate the probability that at least 10 scooters are in good condition in a batch of 15.
  4. We admit that $E(X) = 12$. Interpret the result.
