Question 859836: A club with 29 members is voting on a proposal. A group of 5 has decided to vote in favor of the proposal while each of the rest of the members vote independently with a chance of 40% in favor of the proposal. What are the chances that the proposal will get the majority vote. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
29 members... majority vote takes at least 15
or at least 10 votes among the remaining 24
p = .40, n = 24
P(x ≥ 10) = 1 – P(x ≤ 9)= 1-binomcdf(24,.40,9)= .5109
