Question 1147246
<br>
Straightforward binomial probability calculations -- although very cumbersome.<br>
At least 2 hits in 5 at bats means NOT 0 or 1 hits.  So<br>
1 - ((P(0 hits)+P(1 hit))<br>
{{{1 - (C(5,0)(.272^0)(1-.272)^5 + C(5,1)(.272^1)(1-.272)^4)}}}<br>
A good scientific calculator will do all the ugly computations for you.<br>
On the TI-83, binomcdf(a,b,c) will calculate the cumulative probability of AT MOST c successes in a trials if the probability of success on each trial is b.<br>
To find binomcdf, press 2nd-VARS (DISTR) and scroll down to A:binomcdf<br>
Again, since you want the probability of AT LEAST 2 hits, you want to calculate 1 minus the probability of AT MOST 1 hit:<br>
1 - binomcdf(5,.272,1)
