Public Opinion reported that 5% of Americans are afraid of being alone in a house at night. If a random sample of 20 Americans is selected, find these probabilities by using the binomial distribution. a) There are exactly 5 people in the sample who are afraid of being alone at night. b) There are at most 3 people in the sample who are afraid of being alone at night.
