This is a binomial probability problem where n = 13,000, p = 0.30 (probability of success), and we are looking for the probability of x ≤ 4,000 successes. The correct answer can be found using binomial distribution calculations or approximations, but without doing the math here, the key is recognizing that selling at most 4,000 products is significantly below the expected value of 3,900 (30% of 13,000), making A the most plausible choice given it represents a high probability consistent with the scenario described.
