A study shows that approximately 25% of all businessmen who wear ties wear them so tightly that they reduce blood flow to the brain. At a board meeting of 15 businessmen, all of whom wear ties, what's the probability at least one tie is too tight?

Explanation:
We are told that:
#P("tight tie") = 25/100 = 1/4 #
# P("not a tight tie")=1-1/4=3/4 #
And so;
# P("at least one too tight") = 1 - P("none are too tight") #
# " " = 1-(3/4)^15 #
# " " = 0.986636 ... #
