There are all binomial problems:
--------------
a. At least two people will become dizzy.
Ans: 1 - binomcdf(15,0.1,1) = 0.4510

b. Exactly three people will become dizzy.
Ans: binompdf(15,0.1,3)= 0.1285
-------------------------------
c. At most four people will become dizzy.
Ans: binomcdf(15,0.1,4) = 0.9873
