Question 1056168: Most of us love peaches, but hate buying those that are picked too early. Unfortunately, by waiting until the peaches are almost ripe to pick carries a risk of having 20% 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 peaches,
my question below
what would be the probability of having at most 3 rotten peaches packed in a box of 12?

Binomial Distribution: p(rotten) = .20, n = 12
Using a TI calculator 0r similarly a Casio fx-115 ES plus
P(x <= 3) = binomcdf(12,.20,3)
