Assume that on a standardized test of 100 questions, a person has a probability of 85% of answering any particular question correctly. Find the probability of answering between 74 and 84 questions, inclusive, correctly.
------
Binomial Problem with n = 100 and p(correct) = 0.85
-----
P(74 <= x <= 84) = binomcdf(100,0.85,84)-binomcdf(100,0.85,73) = 0.4303
