Question 1000337: Suppose that the probability that a new medication will cause a bad side effect is 0.03. If this medication is given to 150 people, what is the probability that more than three of them will experience a bad side effect? Place your answer, rounded to 4 decimal places, in the blank
I am stumped on how to solve this homework question?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose that the probability that a new medication will cause a bad side effect is 0.03. If this medication is given to 150 people, what is the probability that more than three of them will experience a bad side effect? Place your answer, rounded to 4 decimal places, in the blank.
-----------------
Binomial Problem with n = 150 and P(bad effect) = 0.03
-----------------
P(4 <= x <=150) = 1 - P(0<= x <=3) = 1 - binomcdf(150,0.03,3) = 0.6616
------------------
