Q11: On Saturday morning, Malachi will begin a camping vacation and he will return home at the end of the first day on which it rains. If on the first three days of the vacation the probability of rain on each day is 0.2, what is the probability that Malachi will return home at the end of the day on the following Monday? A. 0.008 B. 0.128 C. 0.488 D. 0.512 E. 0.640 Answer: B 个人认为答案应该是E。 第一天不下雨的可能性是0.8,第二天不下雨的可能性也是0.8,因而前两天都不下雨的可能性是0.8x0.8=0.64. 但答案给的是B,觉得不对。第三天回来的可能性不可能这么小吧。 请指教,谢谢 |
