Answer:

0.7633

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of the population that is contaminated = P = (4/17) = 0.235

We now need to find the probability that not more than 1 of the 4 bottles tested is contaminated. This is a binomial distribution problem.

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = number of bottles to be tested = 4

x = Number of successes required = 0, 1

p = probability of success = probability that a bottle is contaminated = 0.235

q = probability of failure = probability that a bottle is NOT contaminated = 1 - 0.235 = 0.765

P(X ≤ 1) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) = 0.34248830063 + 0.4208352975 = 0.7633235981 = 0.7633 to 4 d.p

Hope this helps!!!
