Answer :
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0058 = 0.58% probability that the sample contains exactly two defective parts.
What is the binomial distribution formula?
The formula is:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- n is the number of trials.
- p is the probability of a success on a single trial.
In this problem, we want P(X = 2) with p = 0.025, n = 5, hence:
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.025)^{2}.(0.975)^{3} = 0.0058[/tex]
There is a 0.0058 = 0.58% probability that the sample contains exactly two defective parts.
