Question 758229: Most of us hate buying mangos that are picked too early. Unfortunately, by waiting until the mangos are almost ripe to pick carries a risk of having 7% of the picked rot upon arrival at the packing facility. If the packing process is all done by machines without human inspection to pick out any rotten mangos, what would be the probability of having at most 3 rotten mangos packed in a box of 12?

------------------------
Binomial Problem with n = 12 and p(rotten) =0.07
-----
P(0<= x <=3) = binomcdf(12,0.07,3) = 0.9925
