Question
A survey of British holidaymakers found that of those surveyed took a holiday in the Lake District in .
A random sample of British holidaymakers was taken. The number of people in the sample who took a holiday in the Lake District in can be modelled by a binomial distribution.
State two assumptions made in order for this model to be valid.
Find the probability that at least three people from the sample took a holiday in the Lake District in .
From a random sample of holidaymakers, the probability that at least one of them took a holiday in the Lake District in is greater than .
Determine the least possible value of .
