3.27 Underage drinking, Part 2: we learned in Exercise 3.25 that about 69.7% of 18-20 year olds consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008. We now consider a random sample of fifty 18-20 years old. What is the probability that 45 or more people in this sample have consumed alcoholic beverages? Answer is 0.0006
