7 Probability > Binomial and geometric probabilities · Level 3
You win a game if you toss a fair die with 5 coming up in exactly 1/6 of the tosses. Would you rather flip 12 times or 120 times?
A
12 times because 0.296 > 0.0973
B
12 times because of the central limit theorem

120 times because \(\binom{120}{20} > \binom{12}{2}\)
D
120 times because of the law of large numbers
E
Your chance of winning is the same with 12 or 120 flips.

A rapid Zika antibody test can be performed in minutes and, if positive, can be followed up by a more time-consuming, more accurate test. Suppose the rapid test results in positive in 2 percent of the population and the more accurate test shows that 94 percent of those who test positive in the rapid test actually have Zika.
