My defect rate is .00125
\n" ); document.write( "My sample size is 85
\n" ); document.write( "What is the probability that I will have three defects in my sample
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "It's binomial with n = 85, p = 0.00125, x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "P(x=3) = 85C3(0.00125)^3(0.99875)^82 = 0.0001741\r
