The Rice is Right is a cooking show that randomly selects participants from the audience to assist the chef (assume the audience consists of 60% women and 40% men).
a) what is the probability of getting exactly 10 women out 12 participants?
---------
Assume there are 100 people with 60 women and 40 men.
Binomial Problem: n = 12 ; p = 0.6 ; x = 10
---
P(x=10) = 12C10(0.6)^10*(0.4)^2 = binompdf(12,0.6,10) = 0.0639
