Answer:
Probability of a sample that contains exactly two defective parts is .0037 or .37%
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know if P is the probability of achieving k results in n trials then probability formula is P =
In this formula n = number of trials
k = number of success
(n-k) = number of failures
p = probability of success in one trial
q = (1-p) = probability of failure in one trial
In this sum n = 5
k = 2
number failures (n-k) = (5-2) = 3
p = 2% which can be written as .02
q = 98% Which can be written as .98
Now putting these values in the formula
P =
P =
= 5×4×3×2×1/3×2×1×2×1
= 5×2 =10
P = 10×(.02)²×(.98)³
= .0037 or .37%
