Question

assume the geometric distribution applies. use the given probability of success p to find the indicated probability.

find p(5) when p = 0.90.

p(5) = (round to five decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

State the geometric probability formula

$$ P(x) = (1-p)^{x-1} \cdot p $$

Substitute the given values

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Calculate the final value

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Answer:

Assume the geometric distribution applies. Use the given probability of success p to find the indicated probability.

Find P(5) when p = 0.90.

P(5) = <blank>0.00009</blank> (Round to five decimal places as needed.)
