You can put this solution on YOUR website! in the past no shows were 20% of the people registered in a race.
there are 225 registered this year.
=======
Binomial problem with n = 225 ; p = 0.2
-----
what is the probability of
----
a. 220 no-shows?
P(x = 220) = 225C220(0.2)^220(0.8)^5 = binompdf(225,0.2,220)
My calculator says the answer is zero to 8 decimal places.
------
B. 50 or less no-shows?
P(0<= x <=50) = binomcdf(225,0.2,50) = 0.8211
====================================================
