Question

In a sample of 18 cats from a population with a probability of 0.04 of having a coat of fur with only one color we want to determine what is the probability of choosing AT MOST TWO cats whose coat is monocolor.

First determine the values for the formula, if more than one success is possible, list each separated by a comma:

X = 

n = 

p = 

The Excel formula for binomial distribution is =BINOMDIST(X,n,p,FALSE). But because you're looking for the probability of AT MOST TWO cats whose coat is monocolor, what mathematical calculation will you need to perform on the individual probabilities?  (add, subtract, multiply, divide, etc.)

Use Excel to calculate the probability of choosing AT MOST TWO cats whose coat is monocolor.   (copy & paste your answer from EXCEL to at least 4 significant figures - make sure your probability copies over and not your formula).
