### Understanding the Probability Distribution of Psychiatric Disorders in Adults

The National Institute of Mental Health reports that there is a 20% chance of an adult American suffering from a psychiatric disorder. For our study, we examine four randomly selected adult Americans for psychiatric disorders. Let the number of adults who suffer from psychiatric disorders be represented by the random variable \( X \).

#### Parameters:

1. \( n = 4 \)
2. \( p = 0.20 \) (Rounded to 4 decimal places)
3. \( 1 - p = 0.80 \) (Rounded to 4 decimal places)

#### Preparing the Probability Distribution Table:

We calculate the probability distribution for the random variable \( X \). Complete the following table, rounding your answers to four decimal places (e.g., 0.XXXX or .XXXX).

#### Probability Distribution Table:

| \( X = x \) | \( P(X = x) \) |
|-------------|----------------|
| 0           | 0.4096         |
| 1           | 0.4096         |
| 2           | 0.1536         |

With these calculations, we can better understand the likelihood of various outcomes regarding the psychiatric health of a randomly selected group of four adult Americans.
