According to a poll, 30% of voters support a ballot initiative. Hans randomly surveys 5 voters. What is the probability that exactly 2 voters will be in favor of the ballot initiative? Round the answer to the nearest thousandth.

Respuesta :

According to edg its 0.309

Answer with explanation:

Number of voters who support ballot initiative = 30 %=0.30

Number of voters who does not support this initiative

                     [tex]=1 -\frac{30}{100}\\\\=\frac{70}{100}[/tex]

                                                                     =0.70

Number of voters selected for Surveying =5

Probability that exactly 2 voters will be in favor of the ballot initiative is given by ,if P denotes Success and Q denotes failure

  [tex]=_{2}^{5}\textrm{C}*P^2*Q^3\\\\=10*(0.3)^2*(0.7)^3\\\\=10* 0.09*0.343\\\\=0.9*0.343\\\\=0.3087[/tex]

If we round up to nearest thousandth, Required Probability = 0.309
