Question
A company surveyed 2,600 North American airline passengers and reported that approximately 65% said that they carry a smartphone when they travel. Suppose that the actual percentage is 65%. Consider randomly selecting six passengers and define the random variable x to be the number of the six selected passengers who travel with a smartphone. The probability distribution of x is the binomial distribution with 
n = 6
 and 
p = 0.65.
 (Use SALT. Round your answers to four decimal places.)
 
(a)
Calculate 
p(4).
 
Interpret this probability.
