Binomial Problem with n = 12 and p(cashew) = 0.46
------
FIND THE PROBABILITY THAT THE NUMBER WHO SAYS CASHEWS ARE THEIR FAVORITE NUT (A) EXACTLY THREE
P(x = 3) = 12C3*0.46^3*0.54^9 = binompef(12,0.46,3) = 0.0836
==========================
(B) MORE THAN 2
P(3<= x <=12) = 1 - P(0<= x <=2) = 1-binomcdf(12,0.46,2) = 0.9637
==========================
(C) AT MOST TWO
P(0<= x <=2) = P(12,0.46,2) = bincdf(12,0.46,2) = 0.0363
