Probability that exactly two students have experienced math anxiety
#p_((x=2))= 0.3#
Explanation:
Probability of a randomly chose student to have maths anxiety
#p=0.2#
Then -
#q=1-p#
#q=1-0.2=0.8#
Probability that exactly two students have experienced math anxiety
#p_((x))= _nC_x*p^x*q^(n-x)#
#p_((x=2))= _10C_2* 0.2^2*0.8^(10-2)#
#p_((x=2))= 45* 0.04*0.1678#
#p_((x=2))= 0.3#
