Question

You order fourteen burritos to go from a Mexican restaurant, six with hot peppers and eight without. However, the restaurant forgot to label them. If you pick three burritos at random, find the probability of the given event. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) At most two have hot peppers.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.578

Step-by-step explanation:

If you pick three burritos at random, find the probability of the given event. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Given that there are 14 orders at the ratio by of:

6 with hot peppers

8 without hot peppers

At most two have hot peppers.

Binomial Problem with n = 3 ; p(hot) = 6/8

P(0<= x <=2) = 1 - P(x = 3)

= 1 - (6/8)^3

= 1 - ( 3/4 )^3

= 1 - ( 27/64 )^3

= 1- (37/64)

= 1 - 0.421875

= 0.578125

= 0.578
