To estimate the probability that the next bottle is defective, we count the number of defective bottles and divide it by the total number of bottles.
In the given sequence, there is only one 1, which represents a defective bottle. The total number of bottles is 20 since there are 20 digits in the sequence.
So, the probability that the next bottle is defective is 1/20 or 0.05 or 5%.
A bottling company marks a 0 for every bottle that comes out correct and a 1 for every defective bottle. Estimate the probability that the next bottle is defective.
