prob(keep) = 80/100 = 4/5
prob(not keep) = 1/5
prob(10 patients, more than 7 keep their appointment.)
= prob(8 will keep) + prob(9 will keep) + prob(10 will keep)
= C(10,8) (4/5)^8 (1/5)^2 + C(10,9) (4/5)^9 (1/5) + C(10,10) (4/5)^10 (1/5)^0
= 45(.16777216)(.04) + ...... + 1(.107374182)(1)
= ....
let me know what you get
