Intuitive way to arrive at the maximizing argument for the binomial probability. The binomial probability term q^n(1-q)^{N-n} is maximized when q=n/N. This can be easily arrived at by differentiating the given probability term with respect to q. Is there a more intuitive way to arrive at this value of q that maximizes the probability ?

Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 54% use them in meetings or classes (based on data from an LG Smartphone survey). If 8 adult smartphone users are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly 6 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes?
