    The solution for this problem is to use the binomial distribution because you can either wear glasses or you don't wear glasses. Attempts are autonomous since glasses of one doesn't affect the other.

    P[x>=6] = P[x=6] + P[x=7] + P[x=8] + P[x=9] + P[x=10] (10 choose 6) * (.70) ^ 6 * (.30) ^ 4 + (10 choose 7) * (.70) ^ 7 * (.30) ^ 3 + (10 choose 8) * (.70) ^ 8 * (.30) ^ 2 + (10 choose 9) * (.70) ^ 9 * (.30) ^ 1 + (10 choose 10) * (.70) ^ 10 * (.30) ^ 0 =.8497 or. 850

    note: n choose k is the combination formula
