Answer:

a) P(X=41)= 0.0086 = 0.86%

b) P(36≤X≤38)== 0.1215 = 12.15%

c) would be unusual that fewer that 20 murders were cleared because P(X≤20) = 0.000081 =0.0081%

Step-by-step explanation:

if the random variable X= number of cleared murders , then X follows a binomial distribution:

P(X=x)= n!/[(n-x)!*x!]*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where P(X=x)= probability of x cleared murders, n= number of murders selected=50 , p= probability for a murder to be cleared (67%)

therefore

a) P(X=41)=50!/[(50-41)!*41!]*0.67^41*0.33^(50-41)= 0.0086

b) P(36≤X≤38)= P(X≤38) - P(X≤36) = 0.9371- 0.8156 = 0.1215

c) P(X≤20) = 0.000081

therefore would be unusual that fewer that 20 murders were cleared
