Assume that random guesses are made for nine multiple choice questions on an SAT test, so that there are n=9 trials, each with probability of success (correct) given by p = 0.45. Find the indicated probability for the number of correct answers. Find the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4. P(X <4) =O (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Question

3 and 4 . thank you so much 

Assume that random guesses are made for nine multiple choice questions on an SAT test, so that there are n = 9 trials, each with probability of success (correct) given
by p = 0.45. Find the indicated probability for the number of correct answers.
Find the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4.
P(X<4) =O
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
