≈Answer:
a)What is the probability of buying 12 cups that don’t have any defect?
0.1955
b) And what is the probability of getting all 12 cups having a defect?
9.52 × 10⁻¹⁶
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question,we are given the following values:
12% of the 100 cups in stock have some unnoticeable defect.
The number of cups that have defect in stock is calculated as:
12/100 × 100 = 12 cups
The number of cups that doesn't have defect is calculated as:
Total number of cups in stock - Number of cups in stock that have defect.
100 - 12 = 88 cups
a) What is the probability of buying 12 cups that don’t have any defect?
Probability Formula = Number of events/ Number or possible outcomes.
The probability of buying cups that don't have any defect =
88/100 × 87/99 × 86/98 × 85/97 × 84/96 × 83/95 × 82/94 × 81/93 × 80/92 × 79/91 × 78/90 × 77/89 = 0.1955138721
Approximately = 0.1955
b) And what is the probability of getting all 12 cups having a defect?
Probability Formula = Number of events/ Number or possible outcomes.
= 12/100 × 11/99 × 10/98 × 9/97 × 8/96 × 7/95 × 6/94 × 5/93 × 4/92 × 3/91 ×2/90 × 1/89
= 9.519991996 ×10⁻¹⁶
Approximately = 9.52 × 10⁻¹⁶
