Answer:
0.3524
Explanation:
The binomial probability relation is:
k=0nCn,k(p)k(1p)nk=1
Here we have n=24,p=18 and we're looking at 4k18. We can sum up to that or we can look at 1(0k3+19k24). Both involve a lot of work so I'll use Google Sheets and find the cumulative binomial distribution up to 18 and then subtract the one up to 3.
It turns out that at the cumulative probability, summed to 18 successes, we're so close to 1 that it's roughly a dozen 9's immediately after the decimal.
The cumulative probability at the 3 successes mark is roughly 0.6476.
Therefore, our probability is roughly 0.3524.
