You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 6 apples, 4 pears, 8 oranges, and 7 lemons. if you select them randomly, one at a time with replacement, what is the probability that 8 0r more of the next 10 will be citrus fruits (i.e. oranges or lemons)?
----------------
Binomial Problem with n = 10 ; p(citrus) = 15/25 = 3/5
----
P(8<= x <=10) = 1 - P(0<= x <=7) = 1 - binomcdf(10,3/5,7) = 0.1673
