Hello!

I'm having a problem setting up and solving this problem from my homework this week. I've already completed A and B of problem 5.2.10, I just need help with C. Thank you! *I have attached the screenshot of the problem from my homework.

5.2.10

The proportion of brown M&M's in a milk chocolate packet is approximately 14%(Madison, 2013).Suppose a package of M&M's typically contains 52 M&M's.

a.)State the random variable.

The random variable is the percentage of brown M&M's.

b.)Argue that this is a binomial experiment.

A binomial experiment has four conditions that must be met: a fixed number of trials (52 M&M's in the packet so n=52), each trial is independent of the others (choosing a random color does not affect the color of the next M&M), there are only two outcomes (brown or not brown) and the probability of each outcome remains constant from trial to trial (14% probability of choosing brown).All conditions have been met.

Find the probability that

c.)Six M&M's are brown.

This is literally all the information that the homework provides for this question. If this attempt to submit the question doesn't work then I don't know what else to do. I have attached the screenshot of the question, I'm copying and pasting the question here and I literally only need help with part C (Find the probability that 6 M&M's are brown).
