| Mar 19, 2021 at 17:47 | comment | added | Pedro Cunha | Yes, indeed. I was able to see that. The correct calculation should be $1 - 0,5^{20} \cdot \left[ \binom{20}{0} + \binom{20}{1} + \binom{20}{2} + \binom{20}{3} + \binom{20}{4} \right] \approx 0,99409$, is that right? Thanks! | |
| Mar 19, 2021 at 17:43 | comment | added | John L | The simulation is correct and your calculation is not. If you have learned about the binomial distribution, try thinking about it that way. Each one has a 50% chance of being greater than 2. It's like flipping 20 coins and finding the probability that you see at least 5 heads out of the 20. | |
