The unemployment rate in a city is 13%. Find the probability that at least 2 out of 10 people from this city sampled at random are unemployed. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Binomial: Advanced?
Let X be the number of unemployed sampled. X has the binomial distribution with n = 10 trials and success probability p = 0.13
In general, if X has the binomial distribution with n trials and a success probability of p then
P[X = x] = n!/(x!(n-x)!) * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)
for values of x = 0, 1, 2, ..., n
P[X = x] = 0 for any other value of x.
The probability mass function is derived by looking at the number of combination of x objects chosen from n objects and then a total of x success and n - x failures.
Or, in other words, the binomial is the sum of n independent and identically distributed Bernoulli trials.
X ~ Binomial( n , p )
the mean of the binomial distribution is n * p = 1.3
the variance of the binomial distribution is n * p * (1 - p) = 1.131
the standard deviation is the square root of the variance = √ ( n * p * (1 - p)) = 1.063485

The negation of the at least 2 out of 10 people are unemployed is less than two people are unemployed.
Using: 1 - P(A%26#039;) = P(A), you can use this relationship to find your answer.
To find the probability that less than 2 people are unemployed(i.e. 9 or more are employed), you only need to do two combinations.
P(A%26#039;) = (10 C 1)(.87^9)(0.13^1) + (10 C 0)(0.87^10)(0.13^0) ~= 0.6196
Your answer should be:
1 - P(A%26#039;)
1 - P(A%26#039;) = 0.3804
