Question:

A large machine is filled with thousands of small pieces of candy, 40% of which are orange. When money is deposited, the machine dispenses 60 randomly selected pieces of candy. The machine will be recalibrated if a group of 60 candies contains fewer than 18 that are orange.

What is the approximate probability that this will happen if the machine is working correctly?
