Answer:

0.7429

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  Of the 721 students at the college, 299 of them apply for loans when entering graduate school.

So p = proportion of students applying for loans = \frac{299}{721} =0.415

Each student is independent of the other and there are two outcomes

Hence out of 45 students the no of students who apply for loans say X is binomial with n =45 and p = 0.415

the probability that more than 16 of them apply for loans

=P(X>16)\\= \Sigma_{x=17} ^{45}  P(x)\\=\Sigma_{x=17} ^{45}(45Cx (0.415)^x (0.585)^{25-x} )

=0.7429
