A container has 50 electronic components, of which 10 are defective.
If 6 components are drawn at random from the container, what is the probability that at least 4 are good?
------
If 4 are good, 2 must be defective.
-----
Binomial with n = 6 and p(defective) = 1/5
----
P(x = 2) = 6C2*(1/5)^2*(4/5)^4 = binompdf(6,1/5,2) = 0.2458
