Question 1184907: In a large metropolitan area, past records revealed that 30 percent of all the high school graduates go to college. From 10 graduates selected at random, what is the probability that: Exactly 8 will go to college Answer by ikleyn(52812) (Show Source):
It is the binomial type probability distribution problem.
The number of trials n= 10; the probability of the success trial is 30% = 0.3, and the number of success trials k = 8.
P = = = 0.001447 (rounded) = 0.1447%. ANSWER
