Answer:

The probability is 0.026 to 3 d.p

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this , we shall be using the Bernoulli approximation.

let P = percentage of voters supporting the increase = 41% = 41/100 = 0.41

q = percentage of voters not supporting = 100-41% = 59% = 59/100 = 0.59

Now we want to calculate that exactly 15 out of 25 will vote in favor

Mathematically that would be ;

25C15 p^15 q^10

= 25C15 0.41^15 0.59^10

= 0.025981307443 or simply 0.026 to 3 decimal places
