    Given the fact that 5 out of the 15 trucks have brake problems, we can find the probability that a delivery truck has brake problems as 5/15 = 0.3333. In the sample of 4 trucks, the number of trucks that have defective brackets is a binomially distributed random variable with n = 4 and p = 0.3333. Using the formula for binomial distribution, we get P (X = 2) = 4C2 * 0.3333² * (1-0.3333) ² = 0.2963.

    The answer is 0.2963.
