Find $P(2 \le X \le 7)$, where $X$ is a Binomial variable with parameters $n = 9$, $p = 0.93$.
Find $1 - p$.
$1 - p = \class{inputBox step1}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{A1}}\hspace{54px}}~}$
$1 - p = [0.07]$
Hint: For a Binomial distribution, $P(X = r) = {}^n \mathrm{C}_r \times p^r \times (1-p)^{n-r}$.

$P(X = [5]) = [126] \times [0.69568837] \times [0.00002401] = [0.00210464]$
$P(X = \class{inputBox step6}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br4c0}}\hspace{35px}}~}) = \class{inputBox step6}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br4c1}}\hspace{100px}}~} \times \class{inputBox step6}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br4c2}}\hspace{100px}}~} \times \class{inputBox step6}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br4c3}}\hspace{100px}}~} = \class{inputBox step6}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br4c4R}}\hspace{100px}}~}$
$P(X = [6]) = [84] \times [0.64699018] \times [0.000343] = [0.01864108]$
$P(X = \class{inputBox step7}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br5c0}}\hspace{35px}}~}) = \class{inputBox step7}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br5c1}}\hspace{100px}}~} \times \class{inputBox step7}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br5c2}}\hspace{100px}}~} \times \class{inputBox step7}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br5c3}}\hspace{100px}}~} = \class{inputBox step7}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{Br5c4R}}\hspace{100px}}~}$
$P(X = [7]) = [36] \times [0.60170087] \times [0.0049] = [0.10614003]$
Therefore,
Hint: Add together the individual probabilities.
$P(2 \le X \le 7) = \class{inputBox step8}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{CR}}\hspace{100px}}~}$
$P(2 \le X \le 7) = [0.12705237]$
