According to a poll, 30% of voters support a ballot initiative. hans randomly surveys 5 voters. what is the probability that exactly 2 voters will be in favor of the ballot initiative? round the answer to the nearest thousandth

Using the probability (conditional) formula, where P is equals to the number of favorable outcomes over the total number of outcomes. Calculating using five and the thirty percent, 1.5 is the answer. But that cannot be the answer.

So we look for the probability using this formula derived from the original, (total outcomes) x (percentage) = (favorable outcomes), 5x=2. That gives us the answer of 0.4 or 40%.

Product is multiplication.

Since the answer needs to be greater than 2 either the fraction needs to be an improper fraction ( meaning the fraction would be greater than 1) or the whole number would need to be greater than 2.

One answer would be 5 x 2/3 = 3 1/3
