According to a recent survey, 23% of Canadian taxpayers do not plan to contribute to their registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) for the current taxation year.

---------
Binomial Problem with n = 30 and p(contribute) = 0.77
-------------------------
P(18 <= x <= 22) = binomcdf(30,0.77,22)-binomcdf(30,0.77,17) = 0.3727
