Explanation / Answer

The probability that 7 of the 8 smokers started smoking before 18 years of age is = 0.862989 - 0.553835

= 0.309154

The probability that at least 5 of the 8 smokers started smoking before 18 years of age is = 1 - 0.076485

= 0.923515

The probability that fewer than 6 of the 8 smokers started smoking before 18 years of age is = 0.248644

The probability that between 3 and 7 (inclusive) of the 8 smokers started smoking before 18 years of age is = 0.862989 - 0.002093

= 0.860896
