According to the national highway travel survey, about 14.5% of workers aged sixteen and over commute to work in a carpool. Eight workers are selected at random. Find the probability that at least 5 carpool.
-------
Binomial Problem with n = 8 and p(commute) = 0.145
-----------------
P(5<= x <= 8) = 1 - P(0<= x <= 4) = 1 - binomcdf(8,0.145,4) = 0.0024
