I thought I was putting the numbers into the equation correctly but apparently I am not. I did 1(.08)^1 x (.92)^4 and got 0.057 but the correct answer is 0.249. How do I put the numbers into the formula correctly? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You didn't use the combination multiplier C(4,1) (which is 4) and one of your exponents is incorrect.
