Approximately 70% of statistics students do their homework in time for it to be collected and graded. Each student does homework independently. In a statistics class of 50 students, what is the probability that at least 40 will do their homework on time? Students are selected randomly. The words “at least”translate as what kind of inequality for the probability question P(x_____ 40).
