Step 1
Total Number of Population =13
Given, The population is known to have 6 defective parts
Probability of having a defective part =613=0.4615
This distribution will follow a binomial distribution
Determine the probability of getting exactly 3 defective parts.
Step 2
The full binomial probability formula with the binomial coefficient is
P(X)=n!X!(nX)!pX(1p)nX
We need to compute Pr(X=3)
This implies that
Pr(X=3)=(53)0.46153×0.538553
=0.285
which means that the probability of getting exactly 3 defective parts is Pr(X=3)=0.285
