Step 1
The Binomial probability distribution is:
In the formula, n denotes the number of trails, p denotes probability of success, and x denotes the number of success.
Step 2
The value of P(X<4) is,
P(X<4)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)
=(60)(0.4)0(10.4)60+(60)(0.4)1(10.4)61+(62)(0.4)2(10.4)62+(63)(0.4)3(10.4)63
=0.0467+0.1866+0.3110+0.2765
=0.8208
Thus, the value of P(X<4) is 0.8208.
