<PRE><B>Question 386083</B>
The probability that a house in an urban area will be burglarized is 8.5%. If 45 houses are randomly selected, what is the probability that four of the houses will be burglarized? 
(a) Is this a binomial experiment? Explain how you know.
There are 2 outcomes; burgled or not
P(burgled) is the same for each house.
The burgles are independent.
--------------------- 
(b) Use the correct formula to find the probability that, out of 45 houses, exactly 4 of the houses will be burglarized. Show your calculations or explain how you found the probability
P(x = 4) = 45C4(0.085)^4*(0.91.5)^41 = binompdf(45,0.085,4) = 0.2038
