Question 921933: Use the binomial distribution for this question. A doctor knows from experience that 10% of the patients to whom she gives a certain medication will experience undesirable side effects. Assume the doctor gives the medication to the next 12 patients. Referring to the binomial distribution for medication, find the probability that at most two of these patents will experience undesirable side effects.

Re TY, Yes, TY, p = .10
p(undesirable side effects) = .10, n = 12
P(x ≤ 2) = binomcdf(12, .10, 2)= .8891 0r 88.91% Using TI

Above by hand:
P(x ≤ 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)
where:
p = .10, q = .90 and n = 12
