Five percent of the worm gears produced by an automatic, high-speed milling machine is defective. What is the probability that out of six gears selected at random: a) None will be defective? b) Exactly one will be defective? c) Exactly two will be defective? d) Exactly three will be defective? e) Exactly four will be defective? Does the above situation fit the assumptions of the binomial distribution? Why or why not?

ten percent of the worm gears produced by an automatic, high spilling machine are defective. What is the probability that out of 5 gears selected at random, none will be defective, exactly one? exactly two? exactly three ? exactly four? exactly five out of five

A batch of one hundred items is inspected by testing four randomly selected items. If one of the four is defective, the batch is rejected. What is the probability that the batch is accepted if it contains five defectives?
