B. n=36, p=0.98, x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

98% of bottles have the correct amount.

The probability is equal to 0.98

That is p = 0.98

A bottle of water is supposed to have 12 ounces.

That is the expected value is 12

X = 12

36 bottles has all bottles properly filled

The possible sample space is 36

N = 36
