Fifty percent of the people that get mail-order catalogs order something. find the probability that exactly tw0 of 10 people getting these catalogs will order something.

Given:

50% of the people that get mail-order catalogs order something.

Determine the probability that exactly 2 out of 10 people getting the catalogs will order something.

If the total number of people is 10, we can calculate the number of people who will order something from the catalogs:

10 * 0.50 = 5 people.

The probability that exactly two out of ten people will order something is:

2/5 = 0.4

Therefore, there is a 40% chance that the exact two people who received the catalogs will order something from it.
