Hi
p(rain) = .25, n = 4
P(x >= 2) = 1 - binomcdf(4, .25, 1) = .2617 (Recommend Using TI)
Or P(x >= 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4)
Using
P+%28x%29=+highlight_green%28nCx%29%28p%5Ex%29%28q%29%5E%28n-x%29+
p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively.
In this case p= .25, q = .75, n=4
nCx+=+%28n%21%29%2Fx%21%28n+-+x%29%21%29
