Here's the Solution to this Question

n = 5\\ p = 0.25

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

We shall compute the probability that all five macroeconomists will support the proposal.

p(X=5)= \binom{5}{5}\times 0.25^5 \times 0.75^{0}=0.25^5 = 0.001

Therefore, the probability that all the five senior macroeconomists will support the proposal is 0.001
