You can put this solution on YOUR website! Four high school friends will all be attending the same university next year. There are 14 dormitories on campus. Find the probability that at least 2 of the friends will be in the same dormitory.
-----------
P(a student ends up in some particular dormitory) = 1/14
----
Binomial Problem with n = 4 and p = 1/14
----
P(2<= x <=4) = 1-binomcdf(4,1/14,1)
= 1 - 0.9722
= 0.0278
