You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability that a new medication produces a bad side effect is 0.02. Estimate the probability that exactly 3 out of 50 will experience the bad side effect.
------
Binomial Problem with n = 50 and p(bad effect) = 0.02
----
P(x = 3) = 50C3*0.02^3*0.98^47 = binompdf(50,0.02,3) = 0.06067
