Let X=X=the number of students who XBin(n,p)X\sim Bin(n, p)

Given n=15,p=23,q=1p=13n=15, p=\dfrac{2}{3}, q=1-p=\dfrac{1}{3}

A.


P(X=2)=(152)(23)2(13)152P(X=2)=\dbinom{15}{2}(\dfrac{2}{3})^2(\dfrac{1}{3})^{15-2}

0.000029\approx0.000029

B.


P(X=5)=(155)(23)5(13)155P(X=5)=\dbinom{15}{5}(\dfrac{2}{3})^5(\dfrac{1}{3})^{15-5}
