Question 680559: Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distrubution with a trial repeated 15 times. If the probability of sucess is (3/7) on a single trial, find the probability of exactly 4 successes. Do not use intermediate rounding in tis problem. Use exact value (fraction) in the formula and round to 3 significant digits only at the end of the computation.

Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated 15 times. If the probability of success is (3/7) on a single trial, find the probability of exactly 4 successes.
---------------------------
P(x = 4) = 15C4(3/7)^4*(4/7)^3 = 0.0977
