Jade is resolved to go to the gym everyday. She attends 85% of the time. She calls it a successful week if she goes to the gym everyday of the week. What is the probability that she does not have a successful week?
------
Binomial Problem with n = 7 ; p(goes) = 0.85 ; p(not go) = 0.15
----
P(not sucessful) = 1 - P(x = 7) = 1 - (0.85)^7 = 0.6794
