A binomial experiment with probability of success p=0.65 and n= 5 trials is conducted. What is the probability that the experiment results in exactly  4 successes?

Do not round your intermediate computations, and round your answer to three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

To calculate the probability of exactly 4 successes in a binomial experiment, we can use the binomial probability formula:

\[
P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} \cdot p^k \cdot (1 - p)^{n-k}
\]

Where:
- \( n = 5 \) (number of trials)
- \( k = 4 \) (number of successes)
- \( p = 0.65 \) (probability of success)
- \( 1 - p = 0.35 \) (probability of failure)

### Step 1: Calculate the binomial coefficient \( \binom{5}{4} \)
\[
\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!} = \frac{5!}{4!(5 - 4)!} = \frac{5!}{4!1!} = 5
\]

### Step 2: Apply the binomial formula
\[
P(X = 4) = 5 \cdot (0.65)^4 \cdot (0.35)^1
\]

Let me calculate that.The probability of getting exactly 4 successes in the binomial experiment is \(0.312\), rounded to three decimal places.
