Need ! the ski lift at thunder mountain called devils canyon is quite dangerous. usually 2% of the skiers who attempt the run will injure themselves due to falls.

8. what is the probability that exactly 3 of the next 100 skiers who attempt this run will injure themselves?

answer choices:
0.126
0.175
0.182
0.215

We will be using the binomial probability formula to solve the problem

The formula is given by ⁿCₓ (p)ˣ (1-p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

Where:
n = the number of trials = 100
x = the number of samples we are trying on = 3
p = the probability of success = 2% = 0.02

We can either calculate ⁿCₓ by using the scientific calculator using the  button or by doing it manually use 

P(3) = ¹⁰⁰C₃ (0.02)³ (1 - 0.02)¹⁰⁰⁻³
P(3) = ¹⁰⁰C₃ (0.02)³ (0.98)⁹⁸
P(3) = 0.182 (rounded to three decimal places)

Correct option 3

Ineed more details ?

The answer is b: step 2.
