A hunter bring down 75% of a rabbit he shoot at.
What is the probability that at least 3 of the next five rabbit shot will escape ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is a binomial distribution probability type problem.
- number of trials n = 5;
- number of success trials k >= 3;
- Probability of success on a single trial p = 0.25 = 1 - 0.75 (the probability for a single rabbit to escape).
We need calculate P(n=5; k>=3; p=0.25).
To facilitate calculations, I use an appropriate online (free of charge) calculator at this web-site

It provides nice instructions and a convenient input and output for all relevant options/cases.
P(n=5; k>=3; p=0.25) = 0.1035 (rounded). ANSWER
Solved.
