Question:

Refer to the Scientific American (July 2003) report on whether bottled water is really purified water, Exercise 4.29. Recall that the Natural Resources Defense Council found that 25% of bottled water brands fill their bottles with just tap water. In a random sample of 65 bottled water brands, is it likely that 20 or more brands will contain tap water? Explain.


Data from Exercise 4.29

Consider a sample of five bottled water brands, and let Y equal the number of these brands that use tap water.
