Use Binomial Probability Formula: Use the binomial probability formula: P(X=k)=C(n,k)⋅(p)k⋅(1−p)(n−k). Here, n=4, k=0, and p=0.19.
Calculate C(4,0): Calculate C(4,0) which is 0!(4−0)!4!. Since 0! is 1 and n!n! is 1, C(4,0) equals 1.
Solve (0.19)0: Solve (0.19)0. Any number to the power of 0 is 1, so (0.19)0 equals 1.
Simplify (1−0.19)(4−0): Simplify (1−0.19)(4−0). This is (0.81)4.
Calculate (0.81)4: Calculate (0.81)4. This equals 0.81×0.81×0.81×0.81.
Final Calculation:0.81×0.81×0.81×0.81 equals 0.43046721.
