What is the probability that at most 2 of the ten selected are late with their credit card payment?


What is the probability that more than 7 are late with their credit card payment?
I need help with which formula to use and how to set up the problem

Hi,
Re TY, Following can also be found using the Excel function BINOMDIST()
BIONOMIAL Distrubtion: P(late) = .65 , n = 10
Using TI 83 Calculator
P(x ≤ 2) is binomcdf(10, .65, 2) 0r Excel function BINOMDIST(2,10,0.65,TRUE)
P(x > 7) = 1 - P(x ≤ 7) = 1 - binomcdf(10, .65, 7)
0r = 1 - BINOMDIST(7,10,0.65,TRUE)
Plain calculator works as well using P = nCx*
P(x ≤ 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2)
= 10C0(.65^0)(.35)^10 + 10C1(.65)^1(.35)^9 + 10C2(.65)^2(.35)^8
P(x > 7) = P(x = 8) + P(x = 9) + P(x = 10)
