Step 1
Given:
Probability of using smartphone in meetings or classes =0.54
Number of selecting adult smartphone =12
We have to find probability of selecting fewer than 3 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.
Step 2
We can use binomial probability to find required probability.
Formula:
P(X=x)=n!x!(nx)!×px×(1p)nx
Step 3
Therefore,
P(X<3)=P(X=2)+P(X=1)
P(X<3)=
P(X=2)=2!2!(122)!}×0.542×(10.54)122
+P(X=1)=1!1!(121)!×0.541×(10.54)121
P(X<3)=0.0082+0.0013=0.0094
