Answer:

probability = 0.008

probability = 0.0256

Explanation:

we know here probability of defective is 0.2

so probability of not defective is 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

as we know 3 item is arrive off process line in succession

so The probability that an item is defective is

as P(defective) = 0.20

as all item are independent so

probability that all three items are defective is

probability = 0.20  × 0.20  × 0.20 = 0.008

and

probability that exactly 3 of next 4 are defective

so number of way that can choose 3 out of 4 is

= \frac{4!}{3! ( 4-3)!}

= 4

so as all are independent probability is

probability = ( the number of way to choose 3 out of 4 ) × ( 3 item defective ) × ( 1 item not defective )

probability = _4 C_3 × 0.2³ × ( 1- 0.2)

probability = 4 × 0.008 × 0.8

probability = 0.0256

Net Profit= $46,620 (1,000 x $46.62 per share) + $950 (1,000 x $.95 per share) - $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share) = $4,200

Cost of Investment= $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share)

Percent Return on Investment=  $4,200 / $43,370 x 100 = 9.68%
