Question 416946: A pet supplier has a stock of parakeets of which 30% are blue parakeets. A pet store orders 3 parakeets from this supplier. If the supplier selects the parakeets at random, what is the chance that the pet store gets exactly one blue parakeet? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi
Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is:
P = nCx* where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively.
In this case p =.3 and q = .7
nCx =
P(that the pet store gets exactly one blue parakeet) = 1-P(none) = 1 - (.7)^3
