Answer:

0.3891 = 38.91% probability that only one is a second

Step-by-step explanation:

For each globet, there are only two possible outcoes. Either they have cosmetic flaws, or they do not. The probability of a goblet having a cosmetic flaw is independent of other globets. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

17% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as "seconds."

This means that p = 0.17

Among seven randomly selected goblets, how likely is it that only one is a second

This is P(X = 1) when n = 7. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{7,1}.(0.17)^{1}.(0.83)^{6} = 0.3891

0.3891 = 38.91% probability that only one is a second

EXPLANATION:

STEPS:

1.First we have to find the partial distances in the two equations given and then find the total, but to do so we must find the value of x, then replace it in each of the equations and finally the sum will give us the total of all the magnitudes.
