Question 1030062: A high school baseball player has a 0.218 batting average. In one game, he gets 9 at bats.
What is the probability he will get less than 2 hits in the game?
I tried doing 9C2 .218^1 * .782^7 and then subtracting that from 9C2 .218^0 * .782^9 but it seems wrong.

----
P(0<= x <=1) = 9C0(0.218)^0*(0.772)^9 + 9C1(0.218)(0.772)^8
---
= binomcdf(9,0.218,1) = 0.3837
