Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 57% use them in meetings or classes. If 8 adult smartphone users are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly 2 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

[tex]P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex], where P(X) is the probability of getting success in x trials, n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of success in each trial ( in decimal ).

Given : The probability that adults use smartphones in meetings or classes = 0.57

Sample size : n= 8

Now, the probability that exactly 2 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes :-

[tex]P(x)=^8C_2(0.57)^2(0.43)^{6}\\\\=\dfrac{8!}{(8-2)!2!}(0.57)^2(0.43)^{6}\\\\=0.0575067039294\approx0.0575[/tex]

Hence, the required probability = 0.0575
