2) After a recent bank robbery, three eyewitnesses reported seeing a man with glasses flee the scene. The police suspect Ricky and make up an identity parade of five men with glasses. Ricky takes his place in the parade alongside four randomly chosen stooges. Two of the eyewitnesses identify Ricky and the third points to one of the stooges. What's the probability that Ricky would have been chosen by two of the three eyewitnesses if each witness had chosen completely at random? Solve this problem using the Binomial Probability Mass Function. (Tip: This problem 1 Applied Statistics (CRJ 504) will be easier to solve if you first find p, the probability of success on any one trial; in other words, the probability of a single eyewitness choosing Ricky)
