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?

You are given a two dice with 4 sides each, with equal probability of landong on all sides. Dice one has values 1 - 4 and the second has values 5-8. The low-valued die (dice one) is rolled first. If you get a 1 or 2, then you roll the high-valued die (dice 2). If you get 3 or 4, you roll the low-valued die.
