**Title: Probability of U.S. Adults' Confidence in Newspapers****Introduction:**In this lesson, we will discuss how to determine probabilities related to survey data concerning U.S. adults' confidence in newspapers. According to the data, 44% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. We will explore the probability of specific outcomes when a sample of 10 U.S. adults is randomly selected.**Problem Statement:**Given that 44% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers, you randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is:(a) Exactly five,(b) At least six, and(c) Less than four.**Instructions:**For each part of the problem, you will need to round your answers to three decimal places as needed.**Part (a):**Find the probability that exactly 5 out of the 10 U.S. adults selected have very little confidence in newspapers.\[ P(X = 5) = \]**Part (b):**Calculate the probability that at least 6 of the selected U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers.\[ P(X \geq 6) = \]**Part (c):**Determine the probability that fewer than 4 of the selected U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers.\[ P(X < 4) = \]**Solution Steps:**1. **Identify Parameters:** - Probability of success \( p = 0.44 \) - Number of trials \( n = 10 \) - Random variable \( X \sim \text{Binomial}(n, p) \)2. **Binomial Formula:** \[ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k} \]3. **Use of Binomial Table or Software:** To ease calculations, use a binomial probability table, a calculator, or statistical software.4. **Calculation Examples:** - For part (a), calculate \( P(X = 5) \) using the binomial formula. - For part (b), sum the probabilities of \( X = 6 \) to \( X = 10 \) using the binomial formula or cumulative binomial distribution. - For part (c),

It is given that sample size n =10 and p = 0.44.
