Question 663918: The television show Found has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 27, meaning that among the TV sets in use, 27% were tuned to Found. Assume that an advertiser wants to verify that 27% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 15 households have TV sets in use at the time of a Found broadcast.
Find the probability that none of the households are tuned to Found.
P(none) =
Find the probability that at least one household is tuned to Found.
P(at least one) =
Find the probability that at most one household is tuned to Found.
P(at most one) =

The probability of successes in trials where is the probability of success on any given trial is given by:



Where is the number of combinations of things taken at a time and is calculated by

The probability of none is then:



and the probability of one is:
