Binomial Distribution (Optional) · Exercise 8

Researchers collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the United States. Of those students, 71.3 percent replied that, yes, they agreed with a recent federal law that was passed.

Suppose that you randomly pick eight first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number who agreed with that law.

What is the probability that at least two of the freshmen reply yes?

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
