Answer:

2.6% (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of favor voter = 41% = 0.41

Random selected voters = 25

Exact favor voter = 15

Find:

Probability that exactly 15  will in favor.

Computation:

Number of non-favor voter = 1 - 0.41 = 0.59

Given question is a combination problem.

²⁵C₁₅ × 0.41¹⁵ × 0.59¹⁰ =  

⇒ 0.02598130

= 2.6% (Approx)
