---
It's a binomial problem with n = 225 and p = 0.03
------------------
a) 5 or more will have this blood type?
Solve P(5 <= x <= 225) = 1 - binomcdf(225,0.03,4) = 0.8072
------------------------
b) Between 5 and 10 will have this blood type?
Solve P(5 <= x <= 10) = binomcdf(225,0.03,10) - binomcdf(225,0.03,4)
= 0.7286
