Homework Statement
Eighty per cent of all scheduled trains through
Roma Street station arrive on time. If 10 trains
go through the station every day, find:
a the probability that at least 8 trains are
on time
b the probability that at least 8 trains are
on time for 9 out of the next 10 days.
Homework Equations
P(X = x) = nCxpxqn − x
The Attempt at a Solution
P(X>=8)
n=10
x=8+9+10
p=0.8
q=0.2
P(X=8)+p(X=9)+p(X=10) = 0.6778
10C80.880.22 +10C90.890.21+10C100.8100.20
b I guess I would use:
P(X=8)+p(X=9)+p(X=10) = 0.6778
But I am not sure how. Please help!
