Binomial question help please!

[Smirkey]

Many primary care doctors feel overworked and burdened by potential lawsuits. in fact, the physicians foundation reported that 60% of all general practice physicians in the united states do not recommend medicine as a career. let x represent the number of sampled general practice physicians who do not recommend medicine as a career.

- Explain why x is approximately a binomial random variable.
- Use the physicians foundation report to estimate p for the binomial random variable.
