As formulated in the post,  the problem is  INCOMPLETE  in mathematical sense.


It is incomplete,  BECAUSE  it does not contain a criterion stated in the problem,  when the assembly is considered as defective.


As this problem is formulated and posed,  it becomes clear that a person who created it  (so called "composer")
is unfamiliar with the probability theory,  in whole,  and with similar problems,  in particular.
