A machine that creates paper straws will occasionally make a straw that is too short. This happens with probability 0.07. Let X = the number of paper straws that are too short in a randomly selected box of 16 straws. If based on the total weight of the box you know that at least one straw is too short, what is the probability that exactly one straw is too short?
