Question 251411: We believe that 90% of the population of all Business Statistics I students consider statistics to be an
exciting subject. Suppose we randomly and independently selected 33 students from the
population. If the true percentage is really 90%, find the probability of observing 32 or more
students who consider statistics to be an exciting subject

We believe that 90% of the population of all Business Statistics I students consider statistics to be an exciting subject. Suppose we randomly and independently selected 33 students from the population. If the true percentage is really 90%, find the probability of observing 32 or more students who consider statistics to be an exciting subject.
----------
It's a binomial problem with n=33, p= 0.9, 32 <= x <= 33
------------
P(32<= x <= 33) = 1 - binomcdf(33,0.9,31)
= 1 - 0.8558 = 0.1442
