In summary, the conversation discusses the importance of providing numerical answers to problems instead of using variables, as it makes it easier for teachers to check and evaluate. The conversation also suggests using resources like the Bernoulli Distribution to help with finding numerical answers.

Your answers are not answers. Numerical answers are required. You can't give answers in terms of x and y, which are variables.

Sometimes problems want you work it all the way to a numerical answer, a single simple value for the teacher to check. Your answer reduces it to an expression where you could’ve done the arithmetic evaluation to get a numerical answer but stopped short of that goal.
it looks like you are free to select x and y at the start.

FAQ: Bernoulli Trials Homework Problem
What is a Bernoulli Trial?
A Bernoulli Trial is a statistical experiment with two possible outcomes: success or failure. It is named after Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli, who first studied this type of experiment in the 17th century.
How is a Bernoulli Trial different from other statistical experiments?
A Bernoulli Trial is unique in that it only has two possible outcomes, whereas other statistical experiments may have multiple outcomes. Additionally, the outcomes of a Bernoulli Trial are independent of each other, meaning that the outcome of one trial does not affect the outcome of the next trial.
What is the formula for calculating the probability of success in a Bernoulli Trial?
The formula for calculating the probability of success in a Bernoulli Trial is p = n/N, where p is the probability of success, n is the number of successful outcomes, and N is the total number of outcomes.
How can I use Bernoulli Trials to solve real-world problems?
Bernoulli Trials can be used in a variety of real-world scenarios, such as predicting the likelihood of a coin landing on heads or tails, or determining the success rate of a new medication. By understanding the principles of Bernoulli Trials, you can make more informed decisions and predictions based on statistical data.
What are some common misconceptions about Bernoulli Trials?
One common misconception about Bernoulli Trials is that the outcomes must be equally likely. In reality, the outcomes can have different probabilities of occurring. Another misconception is that the number of trials must be large for the results to be accurate, when in fact even a small number of trials can provide meaningful data.
