![Q3
It is conjectured that an impurity exists in 30% of all drinking wells in a certain
rural community. In order to gain some insight into the true extent of the problem,
it is determined that some testing is necessary. It is too expensive to test all of the
wells in the area, so 10 are randomly selected for testing.
