Question

Question 5 of 40 The proportion of U.S. births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A local hospital randomly selects five births and lets the random variable X count the number not resulting in a defect. Assume the births are independent. What is the probability that two of the five births do not result in defects? 0.0084 0.0003 0.0008 0.3125
