Question 1052521: In a certain congressional district, it is known that 20% of the registered voters classify themselves as conservatives. If ten registered voters are selected at random from this district, what is the probability that six of them will be conservatives? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 20% classify themselves as conservatives, then the probability of choosing six out of a random pool of 10 would be: .2^6 x (10 choose 6)=.01344
