Answer #1

Let X is a random variable shows the number of patients who dont shows. Here X has binomial distribution with parameters as follows:

n=18 and p=1/10 = 0.10

We need to find the probability .

In calculator, press 1 - . Then press 2nd-Vars. Then select binomcdf and enter values. Then press enter. Following is the screen shot:

So the probability that at least 2 patients done show is 0.5497.

At a busy city intersection the probability is 0.08 that an accident will occur on any given day. However, if it rains that day, then the probability of an accident is 0.24. Weather records show that it rains about 10 percent of the days in this city. Suppose you read in the paper that an accident did occur at the intersection yesterday. Knowing this, what is the probability that it rained yesterday?
