Suppose that at your job you are randomly given one day off every week.
During a three-week time period, what is the probability that you get Saturday off at least once?
----------
Binomial Problem with n = 3 and p(saturday off) = 1/7
------
P(sat off >=1) = 1 - P(no sat off in 3 weeks) = 1-(6/7)^3 = 0.3703
