Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and is increasing at a rate higher than any other cancer in the United States. If it is caught in its early stage, the survival rate for patients is almost 89% in the United States. What is the probability that 222 or more of some group of 248 early stage patients will survive melanoma? (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)
