Eighty-five mall customers were randomly surveyed across the state to determine if the live entertainment provided had increased the amount of money they spent. can the probability be found by using the binomial probability formula?

Yes (under certain conditions)

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula can be used if there are success and failure been discussed in the question.

The formula is given by

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}p^{x}q^{n-x}

where n= no. trials

p  = success

q= failure

x= point at which we need to find the probability

Here, 85 customers are surveyed, then n= 85

we will take, p= live entertainment had increased the amount of money they spent (success)

q = live entertainment had not increased the amount of money they spent (failure)

x should be defined, then only we can use binomial probability formula

Example, x= 10 customers said that the money they spent increased if the live entertainment provided.
