Question 236368: An insurance company has discovered that only about 0.1% of the population is involved in a certain type of accident each year. If its 10000 policy holders were randomly selected from the population, what is the probability that not more than 5 of its clients are involved in such an accident next year?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! An insurance company has discovered that only about 0.1% of the population is involved in a certain type of accident each year.

----------
It's binomial with n=10000, p = 0.001, and 0<=x<=5
---
I used a TI calculator and got binomcdf(10000,0.001,5) = 0.06699
