The Complaints Department of a popular used car dealer receives most complaints about the electrical system, particularly the starter. The department sent questionnaires to 300 owners of two-year-old, used, full-sized vehicles. The survey showed 15% of the owners had trouble with the starter. Based on the result of the survey, what is the probability that, in a sample of 12 owners,
A) exactly two owners will have starter problems.
B) at least one owner will have starter problems.
Solution Preview
This is binomial distribution
p= probability that there is starter problem= 15%
q=1-p= probability ...
