Step 1
Step 1: Recall the formula for the probability mass function (PMF) of a binomial random variable: P(X=k) = (n choose k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k) where (n choose k) represents the number of ways to choose k successes out of n trials, and p is the probability of success Show more…

Consider a binomial random variable with n = 8 and p = 0.6. Let x be the number of successes in the sample. Evaluate the probability. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) P(x < 3)
