Answer:

a) The probability that at least 5 ties are too tight is P=0.0432.

b) The probability that at most 12 ties are too tight is P=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we could represent the proabilities of this events with the Binomial distirbution, with parameter p=0.1 and sample size n=20.

a) We can express the probability that at least 5 ties are too tight as:

$P(x\geq5)=1-\sum\limits^4_{k=0} {\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}}\\\\P(x\geq5)=1-(0.1216+0.2702+0.2852+0.1901+0.0898)\\\\P(x\geq5)=1-0.9568=0.0432$

The probability that at least 5 ties are too tight is P=0.0432.

a) We can express the probability that at most 12 ties are too tight as:

$P(x\leq 12)=\sum\limits^{12}_{k=0} {\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}}\\\\P(x\leq 12)=0.1216+0.2702+0.2852+0.1901+0.0898+0.0319+0.0089+0.0020+0.0004+0.0001+0.0000+0.0000+0.0000\\\\P(x\leq 12)=1$
