Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduce the given information

According to the given information,

Probability of success, p = 49% = 0.49

Sample size, n = 15

Let X be a random variable represent the number of people who are over the age of 65.

Using formula (Binomial),

P left parenthesis X equals r right parenthesis equals C presuperscript n subscript r cross times left parenthesis p right parenthesis to the power of r cross times left parenthesis 1 minus p right parenthesis to the power of n minus r end exponent
