We use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem
:
Probability (P) ( k successes in n trials) = nCk * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), where nCk = n! / (k! * (n-k)!)
:
For this problem n = 30, k = 21, p = 0.41
:
P ( 21 use their smart phones out of 30 users ) = 30C21 * (0.41)^21 * (1 - 0.41)^(30-21)
:
***************************************************************
P ( 21 use their smart phones out of 30 users ) = 0.0009
