In a recent survey, 63% of the community favored building a police substation in their neighborhood. If 14 citizens are chosen, find the probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the police substation
-------------------------
Binomial Problem with n = 14 and p = 0.63
-------
P(x=5) = 14C5(0.63)^5(0.37)^9
----------
= binompdf(14,0.63,5) = 0.025822
