4.4 Exercise 10

Avg difficulty 2.5

David, Mary, Joan, Hal, Sharon, and Wayne take an exam in their probability course. Their probabilities of making 90 percent or more are

0.720.830.750.920.650.790 . 72 0 . 83 0 . 75 0 . 92 0 . 65 0 . 79

respectively. Assume these are independent events. What is the probability three or more, four or more, five or more make grades of at least 90 percent?
