Answer:
The probability that exactly 4 are in favor the new building project is 0.1672.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X denote the number of people who are in favor of a new building project.
The proportion of people who are in favor of a new building project is, p = 0.60.
A random sample of n = 9 people are chosen.
Every person has independent opinion about the new building project.
Thus, the random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 9 and p = 0.60.
Compute the probability that exactly 4 are in favor the new building project as follows:
[tex]P(X=4)={9\choose 4}(0.60)^{4}(1-0.60)^{9-4}\\\\=126\times 0.1296\times 0.01024\\\\=0.167215104\\\\\approx 0.1672[/tex]
Thus, the probability that exactly 4 are in favor the new building project is 0.1672.
