Answer:

probability that his sample will contain at least one damaged apple (P) = 0.7215

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of damaged apples (p) = 12% = 0.12

number of samples (n) = 10

Consider,

x- number of apples damaged.

Using Binomial distribution formula:

P(x) = (nCx) (P)^x (1-p)^(n-x)

To find the probability that his sample will contain at least one damaged apple:

P(x≥1) = 1 - P(x<1)

          = 1 - P(x=0)

          = 1 - 10C_0 (0.12)^0 ( 1-0.12)^(10)

P(x≥1)  = 0.7215

Why is division not commutative
Kamila [148]
Division CANNOT be commutative, here is why

lets say the problem is 24÷4

it is obviously  6

but when you flip 24÷4, you get 4÷24

and... 4÷24 is 0.16666666

6 and 0.1666 is totally different :p
