Question 1197156
.
<pre>

It is a standard binomial distribution problem.

Number of trials is 15; number of success trials <= 9; the probability of each success trial is p=0.782.


The standard formula is

    P = P(n=15; k <= 9; p= 0.782) = {{{sum(C[15]^k*0.782^k*(1-0.782)^(15-k),k=0,9)}}} = {{{sum(C[15]^k*0.782^k*0.218^(15-k), k=0,15)}}}.


     To facilitate my calculations, I used online calculator at this site  https://stattrek.com/online-calculator/binomial.aspx

     It provides nice instructions  and  a convenient input and output for all relevant options/cases.


          The resulting number is P = 0.08719  (rounded).    <U>ANSWER</U>
