Answer:

The probability that exactly 12 buyers would prefer green

=0.00555

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

p=50%=50/100=0.50

n=14

We have to find the probability that exactly 12 buyers would prefer green.

q=1-p

q=1-0.50=0.50

Using binomial distribution formula

[tex]P(X=x)=nC_r p^r q^{n-r}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=12)=14C_{12}(0.50)^{12}(0.50)^{14-12}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=12)=14C_{12}(0.50)^{12}(0.50)^2[/tex]

[tex]P(x=12)=14C_{12}(0.50)^{14}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=12)=\frac{14!}{12!2!}(0.50)^{14}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=12)=\frac{14\times 13\times 12!}{12!2\times 1}(0.50)^{14}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=12)=91\cdot (0.50)^{14}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=12)=0.00555[/tex]

Hence, the probability that exactly 12 buyers would prefer green

=0.00555
