Suppose in the United States, 60% of murders are committed with a firearm. Suppose 15 murders are randomly selected. Find the probability that between 10 and 12 murders, inclusive, are committed with a firearm.
------------------------
Binomial Problem with n = 15 and p(with gun) = 0.60
------------------------
P(10<= x <=12) = binomcdf(15,0.6,12)-binomcdf(15,0.6,9) = 0.3761
