Contextual Probability Requiring Binomial Modeling Setup
A video game has a large community of online players. Before starting a game, the player must choose between two ``worlds'': either world A or world B. An individual is chosen at random from the community of players. When playing a game, we assume that:
- the probability that the player chooses world A is equal to $\frac{2}{5}$;
- if the player chooses world A, the probability that they win the game is $\frac{7}{10}$;
- the probability that the player wins the game is $\frac{12}{25}$.
We consider the following events:
- A: ``The player chooses world A'';
- B: ``The player chooses world B'';
- G: ``The player wins the game''.
This exercise is a multiple choice questionnaire (5 questions). For each question, only one of the four proposed answers is correct.
- The probability that the player chooses world A and wins the game is equal to: a. $\frac{7}{10}$ b. $\frac{3}{25}$ c. $\frac{7}{25}$ d. $\frac{24}{125}$
- The probability $P_{B}(G)$ of event $G$ given that $B$ is realized is equal to: a. $\frac{1}{5}$ b. $\frac{1}{3}$ c. $\frac{7}{15}$ d. $\frac{5}{12}$
In the rest of the exercise, a player plays 10 successive games. This situation is treated as a random draw with replacement. We recall that the probability of winning a game is $\frac{12}{25}$.
3. The probability, rounded to the nearest thousandth, that the player wins exactly 6 games is equal to: a. 0.859 b. 0.671 c. 0.188 d. 0.187
4. We consider a natural number $n$ for which the probability, rounded to the nearest thousandth, that the player wins at most $n$ games is 0.207. Then: a. $n = 2$ b. $n = 3$ c. $n = 4$ d. $n = 5$
5. The probability that the player wins at least one game is equal to: a. $1 - \left(\frac{12}{25}\right)^{10}$ b. $\left(\frac{13}{25}\right)^{10}$ c. $\left(\frac{12}{25}\right)^{10}$ d. $1 - \left(\frac{13}{25}\right)^{10}$
