This is a binomial experiment and you'll use the binomial probability distribution because:

  1. There are two choices for each birth. Either you get a girl or you get a boy. So there are two outcomes to each trial. This is where the "bi" comes from in "binomial" (bi means 2).
  2. Each birth is independent of any other birth. The probability of getting a girl is the same for each trial. In this case, the probability is p = 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%
  3. There are fixed number of trials. In this case, there are 5 births so n = 5 is the number of trials.

Since all of those conditions above are met, this means we have a binomial experiment.

Some textbooks may split up item #2 into two parts, but I chose to place them together since they are similar ideas.

oee [108]
For this problem, it is really important to find who voted on Tuesday first.
90×(3/5)= 54 
54 people voted on Tuesday. Since the people who voted on Wednesday was 1/4 of the members who did not vote on Tuesday.
90-54=36×(1/4)=9
9 people voted on Wednesday. Now add Tuesday and Wednesday together to find the ones that didn't vote.
54+9=63;90-63=27
27 people did not vote at all.
