    basic probability question



    Probability of 12 defects in one batch = 0.3060

    If two more batches are produced, find the probability that all 3 batches will contain at least 12 defects.

    I can do all the basic ones on the exercise i'm doing, this one has just stumped me because it uses a decimal value instead of fractions.
