Question

A bottle of water is supposed to have 12 ounces. The bottling company has determined that 98% of bottles have the correct amount. Which of the following describes a binomial experiment that would determine the probability that a case of 36 bottles has all bottles properly filled?

A. Zn=36, p=0.98, x=0
B. n=36, p=0.98, x=12
C. n=0, p=0.98, x=36
D. n=12, p=36, x=98

Answer 1

B. n=36, p=0.98, x=12

Explanation:

98% of bottles have the correct amount.

The probability is equal to 0.98

That is p = 0.98

A bottle of water is supposed to have 12 ounces.

That is the expected value is 12

X = 12

36 bottles has all bottles properly filled

The possible sample space is 36

N = 36
