Pretest

Question 3 • Algebra 2 with Probability

In a certain town, 65 percent of the voters support a school referendum up for a vote. If 5 voters are asked for their opinion, what is the probability that none of the 5 will support the referendum?

Answer
A
0 point 1 1 6 0
B
0 point 8 8 4 0
C
0 point 9 9 4 7
D
0 point 0 0 5 3

Explanation

If 65% support the referendum, then 35% do not support it. Assuming each voter’s opinion is independent, the probability that all 5 do not support it is 0.35⁵ = 0.005252..., which rounds to 0.0053. Therefore, the correct choice is 0.0053.
