Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 65% use them in meetings or classes. If 30 adult smartphone users are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly 20 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

Answer : Given : Probability of success $(p) = 0.65%$ Sample size $(n) = 30$ Solution : → The Probability of Exactly 20 Adults Using Smartphones : $$\text{P}(x = 20) = \binom{n}{x} \cdot p^{x} \cdot (1-p)^{n-x}$$ $$= \binom{30}{20} \cdot 0.65^{20}…
