Question

Scoring a hole-in-one is the greatest shot a golfer can make. Once 8 professional golfers each made holes-in-one on the 6th hole at the same golf course at the same tournament. It has been found that the estimated probability of making a hole-in-one is 12064for male professionals. Suppose that a sample of 8 professional male golfers is randomly selected. Be sure to give your answers to at least 4 decimal places.

(a)

What is the probability that none of these golfers make a hole-in-one on the 10th hole at the same tournament?

answer:

(b)

What is the probability that all of these golfers make a hole-in-one on the 10th hole at the same tournament?

answer:

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

Probability of success=p=1/2064

n=8
