A public interest group hires students to solicit donations by telephone. After a brief training period students make calls to potential donors and are paid on a commission basis. Experience indicatesthat early on, these students tend to have only modest success and that 80% of them give up their jobs in their first two weeks of employment. The group hires 5 students, which can be viewed as arandom sample. Answer parts a. and b. below.a. What is the probability that at least 2 of the 5 will give up in the first two weeks?(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
