In a game, players attempt to score a goal by kicking a ball into a net. The probability that Leno scores a goal is 0.4 on any attempt, independently of all other attempts. The random variable X denotes the number of attempts that it takes Leno to score a goal.
(a) Find P(X=5).
(1)
(b) Find P(3≤X≤7).
(2)
(c) Find the probability that Leno scores his second goal on or before his 5th attempt.
(3)
Leno has 75 attempts to score a goal.
(d) Use a suitable approximation to find the probability that Leno scores more than 28 goals but fewer than 35 goals.
