Question

Mrs. gomes found that 40% of students at her high school take chemistry. she randomly surveys 12 students. what is the probability that exactly 4 students have taken chemistry? round the answer to the nearest thousandth. p (k successes) = subscript n baseline c subscript k baseline p superscript k baseline (1 minus p) superscript n minus k. subscript n baseline c subscript k baseline = startfraction n factorial over (n minus k) factorial times k factorial endfraction

Answer 1

0.213

Explanation:

→ Convert into binomial information

x ~ B ( 12 , 0.4 )

→ Write down probability required

p ( x = 4 )

→ Evaluate

0.2128
