Fascinating. And what did they find out? By the way, were you intending to ask a question at some point? Perhaps it escaped your notice, but a question is a sentence that has one of these things: "?" at the end of it. That's how this works. In case you missed it when you submitted your post, here are the rules for posting:

1. Ask an actual question. Please look up the definition of "question" if you are still unclear on the concept.

On this website, such a question should relate to some area of mathematics.

2. If you post a problem for which you want a solution, make sure you make it clear what it is about the problem that is giving you difficulty.

3. Show all of the work, successful or not, done or attempted in the solution of the problem. In other words, demonstrate that you are trying to learn something about mathematics as opposed to just trying to get someone else to do your thinking for you.

4. If following these instructions is too much work for you, then helping you is too much work for us.

.

It is the binomial type probability distribution.


The number of trial n= 14; the probability of the success trial is  0.24,  and the number of success trial k = 5.
