APPROXIMATLY 10.3% OF AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DROP OUT OF SCHOOL BEFORE GRADUATION. CHOOSE 10 STUDENTS ENTERING HIGH SCHOOL AT RANDOM. FIND THE PROBABILITY THAT AT LEAST 6 GRADUATE.
n=10
p=.103
q=.897
x= 6,7,8,9,10
p(6)= 10!/(10-6)!6! (.6)to the 6th power (.4) to the fourth power=.251
p(7)= 10!/(10-7)!7! (.6)to the seventh power (.4) to the third power = .215
p(8)= 10!/(10-8)!8! (.6) to the eighth power (.4) squared= .121
p(9)= 10!/(10-9)!9! (.6) to the ninth power (.4) to the first power= .040
p(10)= 10!/(10-10)!10! (.6) to the tenth power (.4) to the 0 power= .006
(.251)(.215)(.121)(.006)= .633
one little mistake and it messes EVERYTHING up...am i on the right track? thak you
