An article in USA Today stated that "Internal surveys paid for by directory assistance providers show that even the most accurate companies give out wrong numbers 15% of the time." Assume that you are testing such a provider by making 10 requests and also assume that the provider gives the wrong telephone number 15% of the time. Find the probability of getting at most, one wrong number. (Assume the Binomial distribution applies.)
