Question 859933
A club with 23 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 50% in favor of the proposal. What are the chances that the proposal will get the majority vote.
----------------------------------
Majority means >= 12
5 are already in favor.
Need >= 7 out of 12.
-----
P(x >= 7) = 1 - P(x<=6) = 1-binomcdf(12,0.5,6) = 0.3872
