Binomial probability majority question
Here p = 0.25, so q = 0.75, X = 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5
The problem says what is the probability that the majority will accept; is it asking me to find P ( X = 3 ) or P ( X 3 )?

Step 1
Since X = 3 , X = 4 ,, and X = 5 all mean more than half accept, then the problem is asking you to find P ( X 3 ) .
That is, assuming that p = 0.25 is the probability that each one of them accepts.
