You can put this solution on YOUR website! A customer from Cavallaro's Fruit Stand picks a sample of 3 oranges at random from a crate containing 65 oranges, of which 4 are rotten. What is the probability that the sample contains 1 or more rotten oranges? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
----------------
P(1 to 4 rotten oranges ) = 1 - P(no rotten oranges)
---
Binomial Problem with n = 3 and p(rotten) = 4/65
= 1 - (61/65)^4
----
= 1 - 0.7757
----
= 0.2243
