| Question 1172792:  A machine produce 10% defective bolts. 400 bolts produced by the machine are
 randomly selected. What is the probability that:
 (a) 65 or more bolts are defective
 (b) less than 35 bolts are defective
 (c) At least 30 bolts are defective
 (d) At most 60 bolts are defective
 (e) Between 40 and 60 bolts are defective

 Binomial Distribution
 p(def) = .10 and n = 400
 Using Calculator:
 (a) 65 or more bolts are defective
 P(x ≥ 65) = 1  -  P(x ≤ 64) = 1 - binomcdf(400,.1,64) = 1 - .9999 = .0001
 (b) less than 35 bolts are defective
 P(x< 35) = binomcdf(400,.1,34) = .1804
 (c) At least 30 bolts are defective
 P(x ≥ 30) = 1  -  P(x ≤ 29) = 1 - binomcdf(400,.1,29) = 1 - .0357 = .9643
 (d) At most 60 bolts are defective
 P(x ≤ 60) = binomcdf(400,.1,60) = .9994
 (e) Between 40 and 60 bolts are defective
 P(x ≤ 40) = .542
 P = .9994 - .542 =
 P =  .9994 - .542 = .4574

 To avoid an error or misunderstanding,  everywhere in the post by  @ewatrrr,
 
 where you see    binomcdf(100, . . . ),
 
 you should read it as    binomcdf(400, . . . ).
