Answer:

0.01083 or 1.083%

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be modeled as a binomial probability model with probability of success p = 0.56.

The probability of x=13 successes (a college student being very confident their major would lead to a good job) in a number of trials of n=15 is:

[tex]P(X=x) = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!x!} *p^x*(1-p)^{n-x}\\P(X=13) = \frac{15!}{(15-13)!13!} *0.56^{13}*(1-0.56)^{15-13}\\P(X=13) = 0.01083=1.083\%[/tex]

The probability is 0.01083 or 1.083%.
