Answer:

The probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

The probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The probability of a conservative candidate winning is p=0.6.

The probability of one progressive candidate will win is: 1-0.6=0.4

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins all three seats?

According to binomial distribution: b(x; n, p) =^nC_xp^x(1- p)^{n-x}

P(x=3) =^3C_3(0.6)^3 (0.4)^{3-3}

P(x=3) =(0.6)^3

P(x=3)=0.216

P(conservative party wins all 3 seats) = 0.216

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins exactly two seats?

P(x=2) =^3C_2(0.6)^2 (0.4)^{3-2}

P(x=2) =3(0.36)(0.4)

P(x=2) =0.432

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432
