A batch of 100 calculators contains 5 defective calculators. If 6 calculators are selected at random from this batch, determine the probability that exactly two of those selected are defective.
----------------------
P(defective) = 5/100 = 0.05
P(not defective) = 0.95
-----------------------------
P(x=2) = 6C2(0.05)^2*(0.95)4 = binompdf(6,0.05,2) = 0.0305
