If​ convenient, use the appropriate probability table or technology to find the probabilities. Fifty-eight percent of U.S. adults oppose hydraulic fracturing​ (fracking) as a means of increasing the production of natural gas and oil in the United States. You randomly select five U.S. adults. Find the probability that the number of U.S. adults who oppose fracking as a means of increasing the production of natural gas and oil in the United States is​ (a) exactly three​, ​(b) less than four​, and​ (c) at least three.
