Answer: c. 0.0778

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the number of non-authentic names in her sample with parameter :

n= 5 and p=40% = 0.40

Binomial probability distribution, the probability of getting success in x trials :-

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

We have ,

$P(X=0)=^{5}C_0(0.40)^0(1-0.40)^{5}\\\\=(1)(0.60)^{5}\\\\=0.07776\approx0.0778$

Thus , the correct answer is option c. 0.0778
