Problem 3019
3019
The results of a survey at a certain large college show that the proportion of students who own a car is \(\frac{1}{4}\).
Five students at the college are chosen at random. Find the probability that at least four of these students own a car.
Solution
Let \(X\) be the number of students who own a car out of the five chosen. \(X\) follows a binomial distribution with parameters \(n = 5\) and \(p = \frac{1}{4}\).
We need to find \(P(X \geq 4) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)\).
