ANSWER:

Solution:

Step 1 of 4:

   

        From the given problem, we have

     

           n = 20, p = 68%

                          = 0.68

     The pmf of a Binomial distribution is

    P(X = x) = ;   x = 0, 1, 2,...., n.

 Here, we have to find the probability that the number of adults who would still consider a car brand despite product/safety recalls is
