You can put this solution on YOUR website! A company claims that 80% of its trainees are promoted within the first year. Find the probabilities among 8 randomly selected trainees.
1.At least 6 will be promoted.
P(6<= x <=8) = 1 - P(0<= x <=5) = 1-binomcdf(8,0.8,5) = 0.7969
---------------------------------------
2.From 5 to 7 will be promoted
P(5<= x <=7) = binomcdf(8,0.8,7)-binomcdf(8,0.8,4) = 0.7760
----------------------------------------
3.At most 6 will be promoted.
P(0<= x <=6) = binomcdf(8,0.8,6) = 0.4967
----------------------------
4. None will be promoted
P(x = 0) = 0.2^8 = 0.00000256
---------------
