Question

Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly​ selected,41 ​% use them in meetings or classes. If 5 adult smartphone users are randomly​ selected, find the probability that exactly 2 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.345

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability:

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

n = 5, r = 2, p = 0.41, and q = 0.59.

P = ₅C₂ (0.41)² (0.59)⁵⁻²

P = 0.345
