Expert Solution
Step 1

According to given question, 
 
We have:-  
 Parameters of binomial distribution are n and p

where and n is total number of Trials or samples selected (n=15) 

and p is probability of selecting male=males/total =23/54

p= 0.425926


To find :- 
 expected no. of males

E(x) or mean of binomial distribution having parameters n and p
 
Method and formula to find out:-  
 
mean of the binomial probability formula is:-
 E(x) = np
where 
n=is the number of trials, 
p= is the probability of success on a single trial, and 
X= is the number of successes.
