A trainer is teaching a dolphin to do tricks. The probability that the dolphin successfully performs the trick is 8 out of 24 attempts.
X~B(n,p)
What are n and p
In this case, n represents the number of attempts made by the trainer, and p represents the probability of success for each attempt.
Given that the dolphin successfully performs the trick in 8 out of 24 attempts, we can determine that the probability of success for each attempt is 8/24, or 1/3.
Therefore, n = 24 (the total number of attempts) and p = 1/3 (the probability of success for each attempt).
