The probability that a certain make of car will need repairs in the first six months is 0.39 . A dealer sells 7 such cars. What is the probability that at least one of them will require repairs in the first six months?
-------------------
Binomial Problem with n = 7 ; p(need repair) = 0.39 ; p(not need) = 0.61
------
P(at least 1 need) = 1 - P(none need repair) = 1 - 0.61^7 = 0.9686
