A certain insecticide kills 60% 60 % of all insects in laboratory experiments. A sample of 7 insects is exposed to the insecticide in a particular experiment. What is the probability that exactly 4 insects will survive? Round your answer to four decimal places.

The probability that exactly 4 insects will survive = 0.2903.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The proportion of all insects in laboratory experiments killed by insecticide = 60%=0.60

Since , by using insecticide only two outcomes are possible either it kills or not kills , so we can use binomial.

Sample size of insects = 7

By using binomial probability formula : , where x is binomial variable , n = sample size and p is the probability of getting success.

Let x be the number of insects survived.

As per given , we have

n=7 , p=0.60

Now , the probability that exactly 4 insects will survive :

Hence, the probability that exactly 4 insects will survive = 0.2903
