18. In a recent survey, 75% of the community favored building a police substation in their neighborhood. If 10 citizens are chosen, find the probability that exactly 8 of them favor the building of the police substation.

0.28157

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, The proportion of the community favored building a police substation in their neighborhood: p= 0.75

Number of citizens are chosen: n= 10

Let x be the binomial variable that represents the number of citizens favor the building of the police substation.

Then, the probability that exactly 8 of them favor the building of the police substation will be :

 [Using binomial probability function ]

Hence, the probability that exactly 8 of them favor the building of the police substation =0.28157
