A factory makes water pistols, 8% of which do not work properly.
(iii) A random sample of 1800 water pistols is taken. Use an approximation to find the probability that there are at least 152 that do not work properly.
(iv) Justify the use of your approximation in part (iii).
Solution
(iii) Let the number of defective water pistols be a binomial random variable with parameters \(n = 1800\) and \(p = 0.08\).
