There are 60% heating equipment 25% electrical equipment and 15% plumbing equipment in a store, what is the probability that at least 3 out of 5 of the items bought are heating equipment?
------------------------
P(heating) = 0.6
n = 5
x = 3<= x <=5
-------------------
P(3<= x <=5) = 1 - binomcdf(5,0.6,2) = 0.6826
