In the U.S. House of Representatives, the number of representatives from each state is proportional to the state’s population. California (the most populous state) has 53 representatives, whereas Wyoming (the least populous state) has just 1 representative. The table gives the percentage of states having various numbers of representatives in the current House of Representatives.

Using the percents as probabilities, find the probability that, out of 10 states selected at random, the following are true.

Exactly 4 states have 2–7 representatives.
