Answer:
0.3110
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a binomial distribution with probability of success (being a chemistry major) p = 0.40.
The general formula for a binomial distribution is:
[tex]P(x=k)=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}*p^k*(1-p)^{n-k}[/tex]
Where n is the sample size and k is the desired number of successes.
The probability of k=2 in a sample of n =6 is:
[tex]P(x=2)=\frac{6!}{(6-2)!2!}*0.4^2*(1-0.4)^{6-2} \\P(x=2)=\frac{6!}{(6-2)!2!}*0.4^2*(1-0.4)^{6-2}\\P(x=2)=3*5*0.4^2*0.6^4\\P(x=2)=0.3110[/tex]
The probability is 0.3110
