in a random sample of 350 voters,200 are Republicans. If three voters are selected at random from this sample. what is the probability that
at least one of the voters is republican
= 1 -P(none is a reprublican)
= 1 - 150C3/350C3
= 1 - 0.0778
= 0.9222
----------------------------
all three of the voters are republican
= 200C3/350C3
= 0.1854
--------------------------
none of the voters are republican
= 0.0778
================
