Answer:A. 0.2304B. 0.98976C. 0.91296D. 0.33696Step-by-step explanation:Forty percent of prison inmates were unemployed when they entered prison, then [tex]p=0.4\\ \\q=1-p=1-0.4=0.6[/tex]Find all needed probabilities:A. Exactly 3 were unemployed[tex]C^5_3p^3q^{5-3}=\dfrac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}p^3q^2=10(0.4)^3(0.6)^2=0.2304[/tex]B. At most 4 were unemployed[tex]C^5_0p^0q^{5-0}+C^5_1p^13q^{5-1}+C^5_2p^2q^{5-2}+C^5_3p^3q^{5-3}+C^5_4p^4q^{5-4}=1-C^5_5p^5q^{5-5}=1-\dfrac{5!}{5!(5-5)!}p^5q^0=1-1\cdot (0.4)^5\cdot 1=1-0.01024=0.98976[/tex]C. At least 3 were unemployed[tex]C^5_0p^0q^{5-0}+C^5_1p^13q^{5-1}+C^5_2p^2q^{5-2}+C^5_3p^3q^{5-3}=1-C^5_5p^5q^{5-5}-C^5_4p^4q^{5-4}=1-1\cdot p^5q^0-5\cdot (0.4)^4(0.6)^1=1-0.01024-0.0768=0.91296[/tex]D. Fewer than 2 were unemployed[tex]C^5_0p^0q^{5-0}+C^5_1p^13q^{5-1}=1\cdot (0.6)^5+5\cdot (0.4)(0.6)^4=0.0776+0.2592=0.33696[/tex]
