You can put this solution on YOUR website! A club with 31 members is voting on a proposal. A group of 6 has decided to vote in favor of the proposal while each of the rest of the members vote independently with a chance of 49% in favor of the proposal. What are the chances that the proposal will get the majority vote?
------------------
25 of the voters are undecided.
----
Binomial Problem with n = 25 ; p(in favor) = 0.49 ; p(not favor) = 0.51
-----------------------
Need 10 of the 25 to vote in favor.
P(x = 10) = 25C10(0.49)^10*(0.51)^15 = binompdf(25,0.49,10) = 0.0020
