In some city, 50% of the eligible voters prefer candidate A, 40% prefer candidate B, 10% have no preference. You randomly sample 12 eligible voters. What is the probability that all of them will prefer candidate A? Define a random variable X to be the number of candidate A Which values may have the random variable X?
