b. Find the probability that both of these students have landed an internship. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Prob for any student to have landed an internship for summer =7/42 = 1/6 = 0.1667

n = sample size = 2

X - no of students having internship is binomial

a) P(x=0) = 0.83332

= 0.6944

b) P(X=2) = 0.16672

=0.0278
