Mrs. gomes found that 40% of students at her high school take chemistry. she randomly surveys 12 students. what is the probability that exactly 4 students have taken chemistry? round the answer to the nearest thousandth. a)0.005 b)0.008 c)0.213 d)0.227

The correct option is C. 0.213

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of students at high school who takes chemistry = 40%

So, probability of students who take chemistry = 0.4

So, probability of students who do not take chemistry = 1 - 0.4

                                                                                          = 0.6

Total number of students taken for survey = 12

Now, we need to find the probability that exactly 4 students have taken chemistry among the 12 surveyed students.

By using binomial distribution :

n = 12 , p = 0.4 , q = 0.6 , k = 4

Therefore, The correct option is C. 0.213

m=-16
