Question 306605:
Nine percent of men and .25 % of women cannot distinguish between the colors red and green. This is the type of color blindness that causes problems with traffic signals. If 6 men are randomly selected for a study of traffic signal perceptions, find the probability that exactly 2 of them cannot distinguish between red and green.

Binomial Problem with n = 6 ; p = 0.09 ; x = 2
-------------------------------------------------
P(x=2) = 6C2*0.09^2*0.91^4 = 0.0833
