a nationwide survey of college seniors by the university of michigan revealed that almost 70% disapprove of daily pot smoking, according to a report in parade. if 12 seniors are selected at random and asked their opinion, find the probability that the number who disapprove of smoking pot daily:
-----
Binomial Problem with n = 12 and p(disapprove) = 0.7
--------------------------

a. P(7 to 9) = binomcdf(12,0.7,9)-binomcdf(12,0.7,6) = 0.6293
---------------------------
b. P(0<= x <= 5) = binomcdf(12,0.7,5) = 0.0386
----------------------------
c. P(not less than 8) = P(8<= x <=12) = 1 - binomcdf(12,0.7,7) = 0.7240
