Now before we go over the equation, lets define some more abbreviations:
HINT: The letter p comes before q in the alphabet race so p is the winner (success) and q is the loser (failure).

Example: Survey on
Fear of Being Home
Alone at Night.
Public Opinion reported that 5% of Americans are afraid of being home alone
at night. If a random sample of 20 Americans is selected, find each
probability.
a) There are exactly 5 people in the sample who are afraid of being
alone
b) There are at most 3 people in the sample who are afraid of being
alone:
c) There are at least 3 people in the sample who are afraid of being
alone:
