The next question is

i. What is the probability that exactly 3 out of 5 light users are HIV positive?
ii. What is the probability that at least 3 light users are HIV positive?

a. A study considered risk factors for HIV infection among intravenous drug users.
--------------------------

--------------------------
55% of users who had >100 injections per month (heavy users) were HIV positive.
------------------------
i. What is the probability that exactly 3 out of 5 light users are HIV positive?
Binomial Problem with n = 5 and p = 0.40
P(x = 3) = 5C3(0.4)^3*(0.6)^2 = 0.2304
----------
ii. What is the probability that at least 3 light users are HIV positive?
P(3<= x <=5) = 1 - binomcdf(5,0.4,2) = 0.3174
