Binomial Problem with n=150 and p= 0.053
---
What is the probability that fewer than 10 hold multiple jobs?
P(0 <= x <10) = binomcdf(150,0.053,9) = 0.7264
-------------
What is the probability that more than 50 are NOT multiple job holders.
P(51 <= x <=150) = 1- binomcdf(150,0.947,50) is practically 100%
