A survey of high school juniors found that 82% of students plan on attending college. If you pick three at random, what is the probability that at least two plan on attending college? Round to the nearest percent.
I answered the question incorrectly, thinking it was 36% but the correct answer was 91%. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong and what is the rule or process I need to take. The book never showed me any other way to solve this just this: P(x) = nCx P^x q^n-x, I just want to learn the right way to avoid mistakes again for the upcoming test.
Please and thank you

Answer:

91%

You forgot to add 'all three'

Step-by-step explanation:

X ~ B(3, 0.82)

q = 1 - 0.82 = 0.18

Atleast 2 means:

X = 2, or 3

3C2(0.82)²(0.18) + 3C3(0.82)³(0.18)⁰

= 0.363096 + 0.551368

= 0.914464

= 91.4464%
