Re: Binomial distribution question



First, thank you for your help.

AHH! That makes sense! I see where I was getting confused by. I just
plug the answer into mathematica and got 8% as an answer. If you want I
can still go through each term separately, but I am not sure how to
make mathematica print out each term of the sum so I will isntead
justselect a few key ones, found below.

32!/((32 - 27)! 27! )* (.927)^27* (1 - .927)^(32 - 27)=0.0539231

32!/((32 - 5)! 5! )* (.073)^5 * (1 - .073)^(32 - 5)=0.0539231

32!/((32 - 26)! 26! )* (.927)^26* (1 - .927)^(32 - 26)=0.0191087

32!/((32 - 6)! 6! )* (.073)^6 * (1 - .073)^(32 - 6)=0.0191087

32!/((32 - 0)! 0! )* (.927)^0* (1 - .927)^(32 -
0)=4.229913865563006`*^-37

32!/((32 - 32)! 32! )* (.073)^32 * (1 - .073)^(32 -
32)=4.229913865563006`*^-37
