Consider a binomial random variable with n = 7 and p = 0.8.
Let x be the number of successes in the sample. Evaluate the probability.
(Round your answer to three decimal places.)
P(x = 3)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the standard formula for the binomial distribution probability,
which you should know from your textbook, since it is a pre-requisite


    P =  =  = 0.028672.


ANSWER.  P = 0.029, rounded as requested.



Alternatively, you can use a regular calculator TI-83/84, with its standard function binompdf.

Alternatively, you can use free of charge online calculator 

https://stattrek.com/online-calculator/binomial.aspx

which, in my opinion, is the best tool for such calculations/exercises.

Solved.
