AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the probability of no more than 6 adults supporting the construction of a second International Airport, given that 40% of adults support it. The scenario is modeled as a binomial distribution with parameters n=15 and p=0.4. The proposed solution involves using the binomial probability formula, specifically summing the probabilities from 0 to 6 supporters. Participants confirm the approach is correct and provide encouragement. The conversation emphasizes understanding binomial distribution applications in real-world scenarios.

Homework Statement




It is known that 40% of the adults support the idea of constructing a second International Airport for the country .A sample of 15 adults was questioned regarding this issue .
what is the probability of that no more that 6 in the sample support the idea ?




The Attempt at a Solution



I just want to know is this a binomial distribution where
n=15 and
p=0.4;

if so the answer should be
SIGMA( r goes 0 to 6 )15Cr * 0.4^(r) * 0.6^(r)

am i correct ??/if I'm wrong please help me out !Or if I'm' write confirm it thanks a lot!
