Algebra.Com's Answer #613689 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! probability of one being not rotten is 0.7. \n" ); document.write( "Exactly 1 is 7(0.7)^1(0.3)^6, the 7 being the number of ways it can be chosen, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh. \n" ); document.write( "=0.00357 \n" ); document.write( "========= \n" ); document.write( "for at least one is rotten: Probability none is rotten and subtract that from 1. That is easier than calculating 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. \n" ); document.write( "The probability that none is rotten is 0.7^7=0.0824 \n" ); document.write( "The probability that at least one is rotten is the complement, or 0.918 \n" ); document.write( " |
