You can put this solution on YOUR website! A forest ranger estimates that 50% of the deer in her park carry a certain type of tick.
For a sample of 300 deer selected at random, what is the chance that 155 or fewer deer have this tick?
--------------
Binomial Problem with n = 300 and p(carry tick) = 0.50
P(0<= x <=155) = binomcdf(300,0.5,155) = 0.737
