Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for the binomial probability, which is:

P(X = x) = C(n, x) * (p^x) * ((1-p)^(n-x))

where:

  • P(X = x) is the probability we are trying to find,
  • C(n, x) is the combination of n items taken x at a time,
  • p is the probability of success,
  • n is the number of trials, and
  • x is the number of successes.

Given in the problem, we have n = 10, p = 0.8, and x = 4.

First, calculate C(n, x) = C(10, 4). This is the number of ways to choose 4 successes out of 10 trials. Using the formula for combinations, we get C(10, 4) = 10! / [4!(10-4)!] = 210.

Next, calculate (p^x) = (0.8^4) = 0.4096.

Then, calculate ((1-p)^(n-x)) = ((1-0.8)^(10-4)) = (0.2^6) = 0.000064.

Finally, multiply these three values together to get the probability:

P(X = 4) = 210 * 0.4096 * 0.000064 = 0.0055.

So, the answer is a. 0.0055.
