Round to the nearest thousandth if necessary. A bin contains 64 light bulbs of which 10 are defective. If 5 light bulbs are randomly selected from the bin with replacement, find the probability that all the bulbs selected are good ones. Round to the nearest thousandth if necessary.

Binomial Distribution

PMF of B.D is = f ( k ) = ( n k ) p^k * ( 1- p) ^ n-k
Where   
k = number of successes in trials
n = is the number of independent trials
p = probability of success on each trial

P = Voters are democrates = 0.44
P( X = 2 ) = ( 2 2 ) * ( 0.44^2) * ( 1 - 0.44 )^0
= 0.194
