In the warehouse, 3% of the batteries go out of order.
What is the probability that exactly 5 out of 125 batteries will go out-of-line?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is a typical; binomial distribution probability problem.
The number of trials is 125; the number of successful trials is 5;
the probability of success for each single individual trial is p = 0.03.
Use the formula to calculate the probability
P(n=125, k=5, p= 0.03) = =
= = 0.1474 (rounded). ANSWER
Solved.
