find the probability that exactly two people wear hearing aids. (please round off into 3 decimal places).

It is the binomial type probability distribution.


The number of trial n= 5; the probability of the success trial is  40% = 0.4,  and the number of success trial is  k = 2. 


    P(2) =  =  = 0.346.      ANSWER
