According to the October 10th issue of the Montreal Gazette, disability causes 48% of all mortgage foreclosures. If a large lending institution audits 20 mortgage foreclosures, please find the probability that 4 or fewer of the foreclosures are due to a disability.


The answer is 0.96% but I have trouble finding it, can anybody help please. thank you

p = 0.52^20 + 20 * 0.52^19 * 0.48 + (20*19)/2 * 0.52^18 * 0.48 ^2 + (20*19*18/3*2) * 0.52^17 * 0.48^3 + (20*19*18*17/4*3*2) * 0.52^16 * 0.48^4
p ~ 0.009603
p ~ 0.96 %
