Answer:

[tex]P(X=x)=0.0004928[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a binomial probability problem.

-Given the probability of catching a cold is 0.03, n=6

#The probability of exactly 3 people catching a cold is calculated as:

[tex]P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(X=3)={6\choose3}0.03^3(1-0.03)^3\\\\=0.0004928[/tex]

Hence, the probability of exactly 3 in 6 people catching a cold is 0.0004928
