The answer is A) exactly 6 democrats. If 60% of the county is democratic, then that means out of 100 citizens, 60 are democrats. If you simplify this, then out of 10 citizens, 6 are democrats.

This is the second time I have reminded you that AMHD does not answer homework - that's the policy. You agreed to AMHD rules when you opened your account.

mmhdcat's response doesn't help at all, so in that sense he's not doing the OP's homework for her.

Nicole: hint - use the binomial probability formula - it's in your text book. Post back showing us what you get for answers and we'll check them for you.
