At a local University, it is reported that 81% of students own a wireless device. If 5 students are selected at random, what is the probability that all 5 have a wireless device?

34.87% probability that all 5 have a wireless device

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they own a wireless device, or they do not. The probability of a student owning a wireless device is independent from other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

81% of students own a wireless device.

This means that

If 5 students are selected at random, what is the probability that all 5 have a wireless device?

This is P(X = 5) when n = 5. So

34.87% probability that all 5 have a wireless device

good luck!
