Answer

P(10 or more people are waiting in line for lunch) = 0.029. This is unusual.

Work Step by Step

P(10 or more people are waiting in line for lunch) = $P(X \geq 10)$ $P(X \geq 10) = P(X=10) + P(X=11) + P(X=12) = 0.019 + 0.004 + 0.006 = 0.029 Here the probability is less than 0.05, hence the event is unusual.
