Question 1177158
**Assumptions:**

* Each component is equally likely to be drawn.
* The drawing is done without replacement (once a component is drawn, it's not put back in).

**(a) Probability that each customer receives one defective component:**

1. **Calculate the total number of ways to distribute the components:**
   * Each of the 50 components can go to any of the 5 customers.
   * Total ways to distribute: 5^50

2. **Calculate the number of ways to distribute one defective component to each customer:**
   * We need to assign one defective component to each customer.
   * Number of ways to assign defective components: 5! (5 factorial)
   * The remaining 45 non-defective components can be distributed among the customers in 5^45 ways.

3. **Calculate the probability:**
   * Probability = (Favorable ways) / (Total ways)
   * Probability = (5! * 5^45) / 5^50
   * Probability = 5! / 5^5 = 120 / 3125 = **0.0384**

**(b) Probability that one customer has all five defective components:**

1. **Choose the customer:**
   * There are 5 ways to choose the customer who gets all the defective components.

2. **Calculate the probability for that customer:**
   * The probability that the first defective component goes to this customer is 1/5.
   * The probability that the second defective component also goes to this customer is 1/5 (since we're drawing without replacement).
   * And so on for all five defective components.
   * Probability for this customer = (1/5)^5

3. **Calculate the probability for the remaining components:**
   * The remaining 45 components must go to the other 4 customers.
   * Probability for remaining components = 4^45 / 5^45

4. **Calculate the overall probability:**
   * Probability = (5 ways to choose customer) * (Probability for that customer) * (Probability for remaining components)
   * Probability = 5 * (1/5)^5 * (4^45 / 5^45) = 4^45 / 5^49  ≈ **1.055 x 10^-6** (very small probability)

**(c) Probability that two customers receive two defective components each, two none, and the other one:**

1. **Choose the customers:**
   * There are 5C2 = 10 ways to choose the two customers who get two defective components each.
   * There are 3C2 = 3 ways to choose the two customers who get no defective components.

2. **Assign defective components:**
   * We need to divide the 5 defective components into two groups of 2 and one group of 1.
   * Number of ways to do this: 5! / (2! * 2! * 1!) = 30

3. **Calculate the probability for the chosen customers:**
   * The probability that the first two defective components go to the first chosen customer is (1/5) * (1/5).
   * The probability that the next two defective components go to the second chosen customer is (1/5) * (1/5).
   * The last defective component goes to the remaining customer with probability 1/5.

4. **Calculate the probability for the remaining components:**
   * The remaining 45 components must be distributed so that the two chosen "no defective" customers only receive components from the remaining 45.
   * Probability for remaining components = (45! / (22! * 23!)) * (2/5)^22 * (2/5)^23

5. **Calculate the overall probability:**
   * Probability = (Ways to choose customers) * (Ways to assign defective components) * (Probability for chosen customers) * (Probability for remaining components)
   * Probability = 10 * 3 * 30 * (1/5)^5 * (45! / (22! * 23!)) * (2/5)^22 * (2/5)^23
   * This calculation is quite complex and best done with a calculator or computer. The approximate result is **0.114**.
