Answer:

0.234

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Proportion, (p) ; Islanders beat rangers = 5/6 = 0.8333

Probability that islander win exactly 5 out of 7 games

1 - p = 0.1667

Usingbthe binomial distribution formula :

P(x =x) = nCx * p^n * (1 - p)^(n - r)

P(x = 5) = 7C5 * 0.833^5 * 0.1667^2

P(x = 5) = 21 * 0.833^5 * 0.1667^2

P(x = 5) = 0.23405369484362783281917

P(x = 5) = 0.234
