70 % of the Hockey referees freeze the pucks before the game. If 8 referees are chosen at random what is the probability that exactly 5 of them freeze the puck before the game?


A) 70 %
B) 8 %
C) 5%
D) 15 %
E) 25 %


Answer: E


8C5*(0.7)^5*(0.3)^3


8C5 = 8!/{(8-5)!*5!} = 56


560.1680.027 = 0.254 ≈ 0.25 = 25%
