Expert Solution
Introduction :

Given data 

x = "Women chief executive officer"

Probability of success (p) = 7% ~ 0.07

Independent trials (n) = 12 

 

With the above information it can observe that the variable x = "Women chief executive officer" is said to follows the binomial distribution with the probability of success (p) = 7% and with 12 independent samples. The binomial probability distribution has the probability mass function (PMF) 

                                                        P(X=x)=ncxpx(1-p)n-x ; x=0,1,2----n
