 Binomial Problem with n= 15 and p = 0.10
 -----------------------------------------------
 a.What is the probability that exactly 2 will be defective?
 P(x+2) = 15C2*0.10^2*0.90^13 = binompdf(15,0.1,2) = 0.2669
 -------------------------------------
 b.What is the probability that between 2 and 4 inclusive will be defective?
 binomcdf(15,0.1,4)-binomcdf(15,0.1,1) = 0.4382
 ------------------------------------
 c.What is the probability that no batteries will be defective?
 P(x=0) = 15C0*0.1^0*0.9^15 = 0.9^15 = 0.2059
 ------------------------------------
 d.Find the mean ;
 mean of a binomial distribution = np
 np = 15*0.1 = 1.5
 ------------------------------------
 e.Find the variance
 variance = npq
 npq = 1.5*0.9 = 1.35
