Question: Credit card companies are increasing their revenues by raising the late fees charged to their customers.

If a random sample of 20 credit card holders is selected, what is the probability that
a. 0 had to pay a late fee?
b. no more than 5 had to pay late fees?
c. more than 10 had to pay late fees?
