The maximum temperature reached on any day can be classified as above freezing or below freezing. In a certain city of western North America, January weather statistics indicate the probability a January day will be above freezing is 24%. Use the binomial distribution to determine these probabilities. Exactly 3 of the next 5 January day will be above freezing. More than 4 of the next 6 days will be above freezing. There will be at least 3 days above freezing in the next 7 days
