Binomial: n=12 ; p=0.10 ; x varies
---
Find the probability that the number who say oatmeal raisin is their favorite cookie is
a. Exactly four
P(x=4) = 12C4(0.10)^4(0.90)^8 = 0.0213
------
b. At least four
P(4 <= x <= 12) = 1 - binomcdf(12,0.1,3) = 0.0256
---------------------
c. Less than four
P(0 <= x <= 3) = 0.9744
