Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that :

73% of college students prefer in-class learning. A sample of 100 college students was taken and their preference was noted.

Also, let X : number of students those who prefer in-class learning over online learning

              p: the probability that a  student prefers in-class learning.

 

(a) Therefore, the value of p (which is same as the proportion of college students preferring in-class learning) as a decimal is : 0.73

 

(b) The probability that X=71 can be modelled using a binomial distribution given as : 

P(X=x) = Cxn px (1-p )n-x,                                  n: number of trials =100                             p : proability of success = 0.73                               x: number of successes  

 

therefore, 

P(X = 71) = C71100 (0.73)x (1-0.73 )100-71                   =  0.07930
