Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected,43% use them in meetings or classes. If 30 adult smartphone users are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly 20 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.
Answer:
Given,
n = 30
p = 43%
= 0.43
To determine the probability that exactly 20 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes
Here we use binomial distribution
P(X = 20) = 30C20*0.43^20*0.57^(30-20)
= 30045015*0.43^20*0.57^10
= 0.0051
Hence the probability that exactly 20 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes is 0.0051.
