A nationwide survey of 17,000 seniors by the University of Michigan reveals that almost 70% disapprove of daily pot smoking according to a report in Parade, September 14, 1980. If 18 of these seniors are selected at random and asked their opinions, what is the probability that more than 9 but less than 14 disapprove of smoking pot?
