Answer:
The probability under the given conditions is found:
P(7) = 0.079
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of adults who believe in reincarnation.
Adults randomly selected = 8
percentage of adult believe in reincarnation = 40% = 0.4
x follows binomial distribution:
P(x) = [tex]\left(\begin{array}{ccc}n\\x\end{array}\right) (p)^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
where
n= total people random people selected = 8,
x = selected for the part = 7,
p = probability given = 0.4
P(7) = [tex]\left(\begin{array}{ccc}8\\7\end{array}\right) (0.4)^7(1-0.4)^{8-7}[/tex]
P(7)= (8)(0.0164)(0.6)
P(7) = 0.07872
Rounding off to 3 decimal positions
P(7) = 0.079
