A bag contains 24 mangoes out of which six are bad. If 6 mangoes are selected randomly from the bag with replacement, find the probability that not more than 3 are bad.
Explanation
Let. X = Prob. that a good mango is selected = 18/24= 3/4 Y Prob. that a bad mango is selected = 6/24 1/4 Using the binomial probability distribution, we have: (X+Y) = X + + + + + + Probability that not more than 3 are bad is = + + = 6(3/4) (1/4) + 15(3/4) (1/4) + 20(3/4) (1/4) = 6(243/1024)(1/4) + 15(81/256)(1/16) + 20(27/64)(1/64) = 0.36 + 0.30 + 0.13 ≈ 0.79
