Question 602512: the working women executive magazine reports that 65% of all new female car buyers are women. Assuming that those figures are correct; find the probability that if we select six women at random that four women will be new car buyers

P(X = x) = (n C x)*(p)^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x)

P(X = 4) = (6 C 4)*(0.65)^(4)*(1-0.65)^(6-4)

P(X = 4) = (6 C 4)*(0.65)^(4)*(0.35)^(6-4)

P(X = 4) = (15)*(0.65)^(4)*(0.35)^2

P(X = 4) = (15)*(0.17850625)*(0.1225)

P(X = 4) = 0.328005234375
