Answer:

Given,

Binomial distribution P(X) = nCx*p^x*q^(n-x)

nCx = n!/(n-x)!*x!

sample n = 800

p = 0.27

Expected number of visitors = np = 800*0.27 = 216

P(X >= 216) = P(216) + P(217) + P(218) + ........... + P(800)

= 800C216*0.27^216*0.73^584 + 800C217*0.27^217*0.73^583 + ........... + 800C800*0.27^800*0.73^0

= 0.5134
