A box contains four defective and six good electronic sensors. If five sensors are drawn, with replacement,
--------
P(defective)= 0.4 ; P(good)=0.6
------------------
find the probability of drawing
(a) at most one defective
P(at most one defective) = P(none defective)+ P(one defective) =(0.6^5)+
5C1[0.4^1*0.6^4] = 0.07776 + 0.2592 = 0.33696
----------------
(b) at least one defective
P(at least one defective) = 1 - P(none defective) = 1 - (0.6^5 = 0.922
----------------------
(c) fewer than three defective
P(fewer than three defective = P(none defective)+P(one defective)+P(2 defective)
= 0.33696 + P(2 defective)
=0.33696 + 5C2[0.4^2*0.6^3]
= 0.33696 + 0.3456 = 0,68256
