Solution

This is a binomial probability problem. The binomial probability formula is:

P(X=k) = C(n, k) * (p^k) * ((1-p)^(n-k))

where:

  • P(X=k) is the probability of k successes in n trials
  • C(n, k) is the combination of n items taken k at a time
  • p is the probability of success
  • n is the number of trials

In this case, n=5 (5 sales strategies are submitted), p=0.3 (probability that a sales strategy is accepted), and we want to find the probability that at most 2 are accepted, which means we need to find P(X=0), P(X=1), and P(X=2), then add these probabilities together.

  1. Calculate P(X=0): P(X=0) = C(5, 0) * (0.3^0) * ((1-0.3)^(5-0)) = 1 * 1 * (0.7^5) = 0.16807

  2. Calculate P(X=1): P(X=1) = C(5, 1) * (0.3^1) * ((1-0.3)^(5-1)) = 5 * 0.3 * (0.7^4) = 0.36015

  3. Calculate P(X=2): P(X=2) = C(5, 2) * (0.3^2) * ((1-0.3)^(5-2)) = 10 * 0.09 * (0.7^3) = 0.3087

  4. Add these probabilities together: P(X<=2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) = 0.16807 + 0.36015 + 0.3087 = 0.83692

So, the probability that at most 2 sales strategies are accepted is approximately 0.84. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 0.84.
