Bottles of the same sizes produced in a factory are packed in boxes. Each box contains 10 bottles. If 8% of the bottles are defective, find, correct to two decimal places, the probability that box chosen at random contains at least 3 defective bottles.
Binomial with \(n=10\) bottles, defective probability \(p=0.08\), non-defective \(q=0.92\). Let \(X\) be the number of defective bottles.
\[P(X\ge3)=1-P(0)-P(1)-P(2)\]
\(P(0)=(0.92)^{10}=0.43439\).
\(P(1)=\binom{10}{1}(0.08)(0.92)^{9}=10(0.08)(0.47216)=0.37773\).
\(P(2)=\binom{10}{2}(0.08)^{2}(0.92)^{8}=45(0.0064)(0.51322)=0.14781\).
\[P(X\ge3)=1-0.43439-0.37773-0.14781=0.04007\approx0.04\]
