Question

Suppose you are throwing an outdoor lunch event for a group of 300 people. Wanting to be inclusive, you decide to offer vegetarian options. Since you thought of vegetarians at the last minute, you are not sure how many are attending, but a quick google search shows that vegetarianism occurs at a rate of 5% according to a recent poll. Assume that the requirements for a binomial distribution have been satisfied.
