Solution
Note that P(at least x) = 1 - P(at most x - 1).          
           
 Using a cumulative binomial distribution table or technology, matching          
           
 n = number of trials =    5      
 p = the probability of a success =    0.2      
 x = our critical value of successes =    3      
           
 Then the cumulative probability of P(at most x - 1) from a table/technology is          
           
 P(at most   2   ) =    0.94208
           
 Thus, the probability of at least   3   successes is  
           
 P(at least   3   ) =    0.05792 [ANSWER]
