Answer:
The probability that the customer is charged incorrectly on at most 2 items is 3.979 × 10⁻².
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question, we note that we proceed with the binomial distribution formula as follows
Number of times the customer is incorrectly charged out of ever 10 items = 4
Therefore, the probability that the customer is incorrectly charged is 4/10 = 0.4
That is p(incorrect) = 0.4
Then the probability that the customer is charged incorrectly on at most 2 items is
P(x≤2) = P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2)
= ₙC ×
×
=
P(x=0) = ₁₄C₀ ×0.4⁰× 0.6¹⁴ = 7.836 × 10⁻⁴
P(x=1) = ₁₄C₁ ×0.4¹× 0.6¹³ = 7.314 × 10⁻³
P(x=2) = ₁₄C₂ ×0.4²× 0.6¹² = 3.169 × 10⁻²
∴ P(x≤2) = 7.836 × 10⁻⁴ + 7.314 × 10⁻³ + 3.169 × 10⁻² = 3.979 × 10⁻²
P(x≤2) = 3.979 × 10⁻².
. Multiplying the denominator by
gives
Subtracting this from the numerator gives a remainder of
. Multiplying the denominator by
gives
and subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new remainder of
This last remainder is exactly the same as the denominator, so divides through it exactly and leaves us with 1.
What we showed here is that
and this last expression is the quotient.
To verify this solution, we can simply multiply this by the original denominator:
which matches the original numerator.
