A survey of high school juniors found that 82% of students plan on attending college. If you pick three students at random, what is the probability that at least two plan on attending college?
I know the equation is:
nCx(p)^x(q)^n-x
but i cant remember what variable means what..

Answer :

binomdist with n = 3, p = 0.82, q = 1-0.82 = 0.18
P[≥2] = P[2] + P[3] = 3c2 *0.82^2*0.18 + 0.82^3 ≈ 91%
hope it helps

Lesson 8: Binomial Distribution

1. a. 91%

2. a. 5.1%

3. c. s^5-25s^4v+250s^3v^2-1250s^2v^3+3125sv^4-3125v^5

4. 55.8%
