A box contains 12 lamps of which 5 are defective. In how many ways, can a sample of 6 be selected at random from the box so as to include at most 3 defective lamps?
In a quality control procedure to test for defective light bulbs, two light bulbs are randomly selected from a large sample without replacement. If either light bulb is defective, the entire lot is rejected. Suppose a sample of 200 light bulbs contains 5 defective light bulbs. Find the probability that the sample will be rejected.
Sequences, Series, and Probability
Probability
If 2 per cent of a certain brand of light bulbs are defective, find the probability that, in a random sample of 80 bulbs, a total of 0, 1, 2, 3 and more than 5 will be defective.
