ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

Compute the probability that the random interval  includes. That is, let us determine. We have success on a single trial if that X is less than . Thus, the probability of success on each of the independent trials is . The probability that we have at least 2 successes but fewer than 5 successes using the table of the Binominal distribution is
