Answer:

0.430 (nearest thousandth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using binomial probability relation :

p = 0.81

n = 4

x = 4

1 - p = 1 - 0.81 = 0.19

Recall ;

P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

P(x = 4) = 4C4 * 0.81^4 * 0.19^(4-4)

P(x = 4) = 1 * 0.43046721 * 1

P(x = 4) = 0.43046721

P(x = 4) = 0.430 (nearest thousandth)
