Answer by Jay
P(X = 12) = (30 choose 12)(0.45)^12(0.55)^18
You have to multiply this all together. The 0.45^12 is the amount that you need that will be clean, exactly 12, at the given percent.
The 0.55^18 is the remaining members that will not be clean.
30 choose 12 is 30C12. This is your total sample, and the amount you choose.
Best of luck! 😀
