Step 1
Given that the probability of goods produced in a factory are defective is 0.03
There are 25 sample units.
That is, n=25 and p=0.03
Let us define the random variable X as the number of defective goods follows Binomial distribution with n=25 and p=0.03
The probability mass function for X is,
P(X=x)=(nx)px(1p)nx
=(25x)0.03x(10.03)25x
a. The probability of having 4 defective goods is,
P(X=4)=(254)0.034(10.03)254
=0.0054
Step 2
b. The probability of having 2 or more defective goods is,
P(X2)=1P(X<2)
=1[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]
=1[(250)0.030(10.03)250+(251)0.031(10.03)251]
=0.1720
c. The probability of having 1 defective goods at most is,
P(X1)=[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]
=[(250)0.030(10.03)250+(251)0.031(10.03)251]
=0.8280
