Answer: It's easy.

Step-by-step explanation: When the denominators of the two fractions you're subtracting are the same, in your answer they should also stay the same. Just subtract the numerators [top numbers].

When the denominators are <em>not </em>the same, if you can simplify the denominators so they can be the same number, do it.

For example: 2/4 - 1/2

Change 2/4 to 1/2 so that the equation turns into 1/2 - 1/2.

Answer:

11.44% probability that exactly 12 members of the sample received a pneumococcal vaccination.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they received a pneumococcal vaccination, or they did not. The probability of an adult receiving a pneumococcal vaccination is independent of other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
