p(successful) = .70, n = 80
Re TY, You need a Calculator for cumulative Probabilities,,,YOurs or on-line
Can Recommend stattrek.com as an excellent reference
......
Using a TI calculator 0r similarly a Casio fx-115 ES plus
......
P(x ≥ 60) = 1 - binomcdf(80, .70, 59) = 1 - .8022
P(x ≤ 50) = binomcdf(80, .70, 50) = .0916
P( 55 ≤ x ≤ 59) = binomcdf(80, .70 59) - binomcdf(80, .70 54) = .8022-.3521
