Expert Solution
Step 1

Given the information

n= 100

p=93%

p= 0.93

Let X be the number of people use the Internet

X follows the Binomial Distribution  with parameter n=100 & p = 0.93

We can find the probability by using the Binomial distribution in Excel.

a) We have to find the probability that exactly 90 people say use the Internet.

  we can write it in symbol as    P(X=90).

we can use the command
