BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION

QUESTIONS
There are 10 members on a committee. The probability of any member attending
a randomly chosen meeting is 0.9. The committee cannot do business if more
0.4500
than 3 members are absent. What is the probability that 7 or more members will
be present on a given date?
0.4000

ANSWERS
0.3500
X= numbers of members will be present
0.3000
𝑃(𝑋=𝑘)=𝑝(𝑘)=(█(4@𝑘)) 𝑝^𝑘
( 〖 1−𝑝) 〗 ^(10−𝑘),𝑘={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
0.2500

n 10 k p(k) cumulative
0.2000
p 0.9 0 0.0000 0.0000
q 0.1 1 0.0000 0.0000
2 0.0000 0.0000 0.1500

3 0.0000 0.0000
4 0.0001 0.0001 0.1000
5 0.0015 0.0016
6 0.0112 0.0128 0.0500
7 0.0574 0.0702
8 0.1937 0.2639 0.0000
0 1
9 0.3874 0.6513
10 0.3487 1.0000

So that the probability of p(X ≥ 7) is equal to (1-0.0128 = 0.9872)
