What is the probability that there are exactly 20 Canadians in the sample who believed that the government handles the crisis well?

Note: 80% means 4 out of 5.

n = 25
x = 20
p = 0.8
1 - p = 0.2

\(f\left(x=20\right)=C_r^n\times p^x\times \left(1-p\right)^{n-x}=C_{20}^{25}\times \left(0.8\right)^{20}\left(0.20\right)^{25-20}=0.196\ \Rightarrow \ 19.6\%\)
