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

Olive rolls a 5 on one number cube and then Lolly rolls a 1 on another number cube. Is this a set of independent or dependent ev
rjkz [21]
<h3>Answer:  independent </h3>

Reason:

Each cube doesn't affect the other one, which means that the probabilities are not altered. This is assuming that the cubes don't bump into each other when rolling on the table. So either there's enough space on the table, or they take turns one at a time.
