Answer:  (a) 0.105   (b) 0.014  (c) 0.119

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution formula :

[tex]P(X=x)= \ ^nC_x p^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex] , where x= number of successes, p= probability of success in each trial, n= number of trials.

Given: n= 4 , p= 0.3418

(a)

[tex]P(X=3)=\ ^4C_3(0.3418)^3(1-0.3418)^1\\\\=(4)(0.026282946626)\\\\\approx0.105[/tex]

(b)

[tex]P(X=4)=\ ^4C_4(0.3418)^4(1-0.3418)^0\\\\=(1)(0.013648604006)\\\\\approx0.014[/tex]

(c)

[tex]P(X= 3\ o\r X=4)= P(X=3) +P(X=4)\\\\=0.105+0.014\\\\=0.119[/tex]
