A.) What is the probability in a random poll of 60 children from the ages 0 to 11 that more then 15 children are in day care at least 20h per week.?
B.) What is the probability, in a random poll of 60 children that fewer then 20 are in day care at least 20 hours per week?

A.) What is the probability in a random poll of 60 children from the ages 0 to 11 that more then 15 children are in day care at least 20h per week.?
------------------------
It's binomial because children either are or are not in day care for >= 20 hrs.
------------------------
n= 60 ; p = 0.32 ; 15 < x <= 60
-----------------------
P(15 < x <= 60) = 1 - binomcdf(60,0.32,15) = 0.8474
=========================================================
B.) What is the probability, in a random poll of 60 children that fewer then 20 are in day care at least 20 hours per week?
binomcdf(60,0.32,19) = 0.5396
==============================================
