Question 386745: 34% of people in the US have type A+ blood. You randomly select 73 people in the US and ask them if their blood type is A+.
A. Use the binomial formula to calculate the probability that between 9 and 12 people (inclusive will say they have A+ blood.
B. Find the probability that at least 30 of these people will say they have A+ blood.

Binomial Problem with n = 73 and p = 0.34
-----
A. Use the binomial formula to calculate the probability that between 9 and 12 people (inclusive will say they have A+ blood.
P(9<= x <=12) = binomcdf(73,0.34,12)-binomcdf(73,0.34,8) = 0.0006644
----------------------------------------------------------
B. Find the probability that at least 30 of these people will say they have A+ blood.
P(30<= x <=73) = 1 - P(73,0.34,29) = 0.1245
