An averages of four tax evaders per 100 tax filers. If 50 tax filers are randomly selected from the state,
Binomial Problem with n = 50 and p(evade) = 0.04
------------------------------------------------
what is the probability of the following:
a. Exactly one tax filer will be a tax evader?
P(x = 1) = 50C1*0.04*0.96^49 = binompdf(50,0.04,1) = 0.2706
------------------------------------------------------------
b. At most three filers will be tax evaders?
binomcdf(50,0.04,3) = 0.8609
--------------------------------------------------------
c. Over nine filers will be tax evaders?
1 - binomcdf(50,0.04,9) = 0.00002472
