Fourteen percent of workers believe they will need less than $250,000 when they retire.You randomly select 10 workers and ask each how much money he or she thinks they will need for retirement .
----------------
It's binomial with n=10 ; p = 0.14
find the probability that the number of workers who say they will need less than $250,000 when they retire is
a)exactly two
Ans: binompdf(10,0.14,2) = 0.2639..
-------------------------------------------
b)more than 6
Ans: 1 - binomcdf(10,0.14,6) = 0.00008556...
-------------------------------------------
c)at most five
Ans: binomcdf(10,0.14,5) = 0.9990..
