Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information:

59% of adults use smartphones in meetings or or classes i.e., p=0.59

Sample size n=15

To find the probability that fewer than 5 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

Let X denote the number of adults who use their smartphones in meetings or classes and X follows Binomial distribution with number of trials n=15 and probability of success p=0.59.

Probability mass function of Binomial variable X is given by the formula:

PX=x=Cxnpx1-pn-x
