Binomial Problem with n = 3 and p(hot) = 5/12 and p(not hot) = 7/12
------ 1985
a. find the probability that at least one has hot peppers.
P(>=1 hot pepper) = 1 - P(no hot peppers) = 1 -(7/12)^3 = 0.8015
---------------------------
b.find the probability that exactly two have hot peppers.
P(x=2) = 3C2(5/12)^2*(7/12) = 0.3038
-----------------------------
c. find the probability that none has hot peppers.
P(x = 0) = 3C0(5/12)^0*(7/12)^3 = 0.1985
