A political candidate estimates that 30% of the votes in his party favor his proposed tax reform bill. If there are 400 people at a rally, find the probability that at least 130 favor his tax bill.
----------------------------------------
Binomial Problem:
n= 400 ; p = 0.3
P(130<= x <=400)
= 1- P(0<= x <=129)
= 1 - binomcdf(400,0.3,129)
= 0.1501

Note: I used a TI calculator to find the result.
