the probability of any phone being defective as 0.049. Ashmita buys two of the
phones made by the manufacturer.
---------
Find the probability that
i. Both mobile phones are defective.:::0.049^2 = 0.0024
------------------------------------------------------------
ii. Exactly one of the mobile phones is defective
Note: P(neither is defective) = 0.951^2 = 0.9044
Therefore: P(one is defective) = 1-(0.0024+0.9044) = 0.0932
