N San Francisco, 30% of workers take public transportation daily. In a sample of 10 workers, what is the probability that exactly three workers take public transportation daily?

And we want to find this probability:

And using the probability mass function we got:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

The complement rule is a theorem that provides a connection between the probability of an event and the probability of the complement of the event. Lat A the event of interest and A' the complement. The rule is defined by:

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "workers that take public transportation daily", on this case we now that:

And we want to find this probability:

And using the probability mass function we got:

this doesn't make sense lol

d. it is a convex pentagon because it has five sides and none of the sides would extend into the inside of the polygon.
