Question 1145730: A manufacturing machine has a 5% defect rate.
If 5 items are chosen at random, what is the probability that at least one will have a defect? Answer by ikleyn(52795) (Show Source):
The probability that NO ONE item of 5 has a defect is P(X=0) = = .
The probability that at least one item of 5 has a defect is the COMPLEMENT to it
P( X >= 1) = 1 - = 0.226219. ANSWER
