<PRE><B>Question 807636</B>
A club with 25 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 47% in favor of the proposal. What are the chances that the proposal will get the majority vote?y

--------------------
A majority vote would be 13 for and 12 against.
--------
Need to get 13-6 = 7 of the 19 remaining votes.
---------
Binomial Problem with n = 19 and p(for) = 0.47
------
P(x = 7) = 19C7(0.47)^7*0.53^(12) = binompdf(19,0.47,7) = 0.1254
