Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of children in a household has a binomial distribution with parameters n-8 and p-50%

As per binomial definition we have

[tex]P(X=r) = nCr p^r q^{n-r}[/tex]

=[tex]8Cr (0.5)^r (0.5)^{n-r} \\=8Cr(0.5)^8[/tex]

a) P(x=3 or 7) = P(3)+P(7) = 0.2188+0.0313=0.2501

b) P(X≤5)=0.8555

c) P(X≥3)=0.8555

d) P(x<7) =0.9648
