Considering a success to be "owns their own home", formulate the process of observing whether each of the four residents owns their own home as a sequence of four Bernoulli trials. Complete the table below by showing each possible outcome together with its probability. Display the probabilities to three decimal places. List the outcomes in which exactly two of the four residents own their own home. Without using the binomial probability formula, find the probability that exactly two of the four residents own their own home.  Outcome  Probability ssss(0.4)(0.4)(0.4)(0.4)=0.026\begin{array} { r | r } \text { Outcome } & \text { Probability } \\ \hline \operatorname { ssss } ( 0.4 ) ( 0.4 ) ( 0.4 ) ( 0.4 ) = 0.026 \end{array}
