Answer: 0.28157
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, The proportion of the community favored building a police substation in their neighborhood: p= 0.75
Number of citizens are chosen: n= 10
Let x be the binomial variable that represents the number of citizens favor the building of the police substation.
Then, the probability that exactly 8 of them favor the building of the police substation will be :
[tex]P(x=8)=\ ^{10}C_8(0.75)^8(1-0.75)^2[/tex]
[Using binomial probability function [tex]P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]]
[tex]=\dfrac{10!}{8!2!}(0.100113)(0.0625)\\\\=0.2815678125\approx0.28157[/tex]
Hence, the probability that exactly 8 of them favor the building of the police substation =0.28157
