Question 646136: Based upon statistical studies it has been found that 0.19% of all births in the United States will result in triplets being born. If 29,700 births are selected at random what is the probability that:
A. At most 50 of them will result in triples being born?
B. Between 45-70 of them will result in triplets being born?
Please help, would be much appreciated

Hi,
Bionomial Probability Distribution: p = .19 and n = 29,700
Using TI-83 Calculator to Compute Binomial Probability Distribution Values
Press 2nd VARS [DISTR].Scroll down to A:binompdf and Press ENTER.
enter data and Press ENTER.
P(x ≤ 50) is binompdf(29700, .19, 50)
P(between 45-70) = P(x ≤ 70)- P(x ≤ 45)
= binompdf(29700, .19, 70) - binompdf(29700, .19, 45)
