Question 929872: an engineer pulls 30 transistors off the assembly line and 4 are defective. The engineer then randomly selects 8 transistors to test.
a. how many different ways can the sample contain AT MOST 3 defective transistors?
B. if at least 2 of the selected transistors are defective, then the engineer will need to stop the production line of why there were more than 2 defective, fix the problem and report. What is the probability that the engineer will need to stop the production?
C. calculate the probability that 3 to 4 defective will be selected

30 transistors: 26G, 4def
p(def) = 4/30 = 2/15

What is the probability that the engineer will need to stop the production?
P(x ≥ 2) = 1 - P(x ≤ 1) = 1 - binomcdf(8, 2/15, 1) = 1 - .71 = .29 0r 29%
P(x= 3 0r x = 4) = binompdf(8, 2/15, 3) + binompdf(8, 2/15, 4) = .065 + .012 = .077
