10% of drives are defective. A test for identifying defective drives has accuracy 90%. You tested 1000 drives and 150 failed the test. What is the expected number of defective drives among the 1000?

If 10% of all disk drives produced on an assembly line are defective, what is the probability that there will be exactly one defect in a random sample of 5 of these? What is the probability that there will be no defects in a random sample of 5?

A data center has 10,000 disk drives. Suppose that a disk drive fails in a given day with probability 10^-3. (a) Find the probability that there are no failures in a given day. (b) Find the probability that there are fewer than 10 failures in two days. (c) Find the minimal number of spare disk drives that should be available so that all failures in a day can be replaced with the probability at least 99%.
