Question

Transcribed Image Text:2. Refer to a 2008 report that states that 35% of US households
have at least one high-definition television. Use the binomial
distribution to calculate the probability that exactly 3 of 16
randomly selected households will have at least one high-
definition television. Compare the result to the answer in
problem 1. Is it close?
