Answer:
The probability is 2.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a randomly selected adult uses the telephone in classes is always equal to 0.48.
If x represents the number of adults selected from among the 8 that the telephone uses in classes, then x is a discrete random variable that follows a binomial distribution, with:
p = 0.48
q = 0.52
n = 8
We want to find the probability of x = 5
[tex]P(x) = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} *p ^ n *q ^{n-x}\\\\ P(x = 5) = \frac{8!}{5!(8-5)!} * 0.48 ^ 8 * 0.52 ^ 3\\\\ P(x = 5) = 0.02218[/tex]
The probability is 2.2%
