If 9 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at most 6 of them graduated.
P(at most 6) =  At least 4 digits!

Would it be unusual to randomly select 9 students from the special programs and get at most 6 that graduate?

  • no, it is not unusual
  • yes, it is unusual
