Hi,
Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is:
P = nCx* where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively.
In this case p = .6(red)& q = .4
nCx = n = 4
P(3 or 4 red) = P(3red) + P(4red) = 4(.6)^4*.4 + (.6)^4 = .4752
sry, did not read it properly:
47.52% of the samples contain at least 3 red.
