Step 1
Here, X denotes that the item is defective, which follows binomial distribution with n=4ZKSandPSKp=0.03.
The formula to find the binomial probability is,
P(X=x)=nCxpx(1p)(nx)
Step 2
Probability that at least one will have a defect:
The probability that at least one will have a defect is,
P(X1)=1P(X=0)
=14C0(0.03)0(10.03)(40)
=10.8853
=0.1147
The probability that at least one will have a defect is 0.1147.
