You can put this solution on YOUR website! home security system is designed to be triggered in 96% of attempted burglaries. If 10 homes equipped with such a system experience an attempted burglary, find the probability that fewer than 9 alarms are triggered.
----------------------------------------
The problem is binomial with n=10; p =0.96; 0<=x<=8
Using a TI-83 calculator I get:
P(0<=x<=8) = binomcdf(10,0.96,8) = 0.0582
