Data on the number of cases in adult criminal court are provided by type of sentence: "fine," "restitution," and "other." In a recent year, the probability that property crime cases in a certain country resulted in a sentence of "restitution" (as opposed to other sentences) was 0.201 a) Suppose there were 14 property crime cases in a certain region of the country last week. What is the probability that exactly three will result in a sentence of restitution?
