The company also produces large boxes of sweets. For any large box, the probability that it contains more jellies than chocolates is 0.64. 10 large boxes are chosen at random.
Find the probability that no more than 7 of these boxes contain more jellies than chocolates.
Solution
Let the random variable \(X\) represent the number of boxes containing more jellies than chocolates. \(X\) follows a binomial distribution with parameters \(n = 10\) and \(p = 0.64\).
We need to find \(P(X \leq 7)\), which is equivalent to \(1 - P(X \geq 8)\).
