A recent poll of 500 randomly chosen voters concludes that 60% of the voters prefer this candidate. Determine the probability that the candidate will get less than 56% of the votes.Please help I keep getting this kind of question wrong and I have a test next week. I don't even know anymore if I'm even setting the thing up right. </SPAN>\n" );
