Answer:

0.9855 or 98.55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of each individual match being flawed is p = 0.008. The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is the same as the probability of a matchbox having exactly one or exactly zero matches with a flaw:

P(X\leq 1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-p)^{23}+23*(1-p)^{23-1}*p\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-0.008)^{23}+23*(1-0.008)^{23-1}*0.008\\P(X\leq 1)=0.8313+0.1542\\P(X\leq 1)=0.9855

The probability  that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is 0.9855 or 98.55%.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

\frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{11}{15}  -  \frac{1}{3} \\  \frac{11}{15}   -  \frac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 5}  \\  \frac{11}{15}  -  \frac{5}{15}  \\  \frac{6}{15}  \\  \frac{6 \div 3}{15 \div 3}  \\  \frac{2}{5}
