Question 935038
A congested computer network has a 10% probability of losing a data packet and packet losses are independent events. an e-mail message requires 100 packets. what is the probability that at least 20 packets must be resent ?
-------------
Binomial Problem with n = 100 and p(resent) = 0.10
-------
P(20<= x <=100) = 1 - P(0<= x <=19) = 1 - binomcdf(100,0.10,19)
= 1 - 0.9980 = 0.0020
