Question 75236: If 10% of the rivets produced by a machine are defective, find the probability that out of 5 randomly chosen rivets:
(i) one or more will be defective
(ii)at most two will be defective
It would be really helpful for me if you could answer this question. Thank you.

If 10% of the rivets produced by a machine are defective, find the probability that out of 5 randomly chosen rivets:
The problem is "binomial" because the rivets are defective or not defective.
P(defective)=0.10; P(not defective)=0.90
(i) P(one or more will be defective) = 1 - P(none are defective)
1-(0.90)^5
= 0.40951
-----------
If you use a TI calculator it is "1 - binompdf(5,0.1,0)"
========================
(ii)P(at most two will be defective)
=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)
=binomcdf(5,0.1,2)=0.99144
==========
