[Solution Library] Binomial Random Variable : Suppose that at FIU Homecoming this year, there is an event called "Dunk your Professor". You have three chances


Question: Binomial Random Variable : Suppose that at FIU Homecoming this year, there is an event called "Dunk your Professor". You have three chances to throw a ball and hit a lever so that your professor will fall into the pool and get wet. You can dunk your professor a maximum of three times. Fun!

  1. Suppose that your probability of hitting the lever each time is 0.25. Your friend offers you a bet of $5 that you cannot dunk your professor at all. You win $5 if you dunk your professor at least once and lose $5 if you do not dunk your professor at all. Is this a profitable bet?
  2. Suppose that you win $X if you dunk your professor at least once and lose $5 if you do not dunk your professor at all. What is the minimum $X that would make this a profitable bet in the long run?
