Answer:

[tex]P(x = 5) = 0.2441[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 0.48[/tex] --- proportion that have very little confidence

[tex]n = 10[/tex] --- sample

Required

Determine the probability that exactly 5 have very little confidence

This question will be solved using binomial probability:

[tex]P(x) = ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In this case: x = 5.

So, we have:

[tex]P(x = 5) = ^{10}C_5*0.48^5(1-0.48)^{10-5}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 5) = ^{10}C_5*0.48^5*0.52^5[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 5) = 252*0.48^5*0.52^5[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 5) = 0.2441[/tex]
