Records show that 30% of all patients admitted to a medical clinic fail to pay their bills and that eventually the bills are forgiven. Suppose 4 new patients represent a random selection from the large set of prospective patients served by the clinic. what is the probability of at least 3 pationts will have to be forgiven?
