Question

A political scientist is analyzing the possible voting outcomes of a proposal. According to polls, the probability that a voter will vote yes is 50%. What is the probability that exactly 5 of the 10 individuals sampled will vote yes for the proposal? 0.246094 0.500000 0.428291 0.530682

Answer 1

Option(A)

The probability that exactly 5 of the 10 individuals sampled will vote yes for the proposal is 0.246094 which is approx 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the probability the voter will vote yes is 50% and we have to find the probability that exactly 5 out of 10 individuals sampled will vote yes which is given by

`(5)/(10) * (50)/(100)`=0.25

and 0.246094 is the nearest value hence it is the required answer.
