Question 473889: I'm stuck, can someone help me. Thanks
A glass manufacturer finds that 1 in every 500 glass items purchased is warped.
Find the probability in parts (a)through(c)using the geometric distribution. If convenient use technology to find the probabilities
a)Find the probability that the first warped glass is the 11th produced
P(11)= round to the nearest thousandth as needed.
b)find the probability that the first warped glass item is the first,second, or third item produced.
P= (round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
c)Find the probability that none of the first 10 glass items produced are defective
P= (round to the nearest thousandth as needd.)
Thanks

(a) %28499%2F500%29%5E10%2A%281%2F500%29+=+0.001960358087, or 0.002 to the nearest thousandth
(b) , or 0.006 to the nearets thousandth.
(c) %28499%2F500%29%5E10+=+0.9801790434, or 0.980 to the nearets thousandth.
