You can put this solution on YOUR website! a shipment of 12 television sets contains 3 defective sets. In how many ways can a hotel purchanse 5 of these sets and at least 2 of the defective sets?
------
Binomial Problem with n = 5 ; p(defective) = 1/4 ; p(not defective) = 3/4
-----------
P(2<= x <=5) = binomcdf(5,1/4,5)-binomcdf(5,1/4,1) = 0.3672
