Assignment:
Question 1. Ten percent of the tools produced in a certain manufacturing process turn out to be defective.
Find the probability that in a sample of 10 tools chosen at random exactly 2 will be defective by using
(a) the binomial distribution and
(b) the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution.
Question 2. If the probability that an individual suffers a bad reaction from injection of a given serum is 0.001, determine the probability that out of 2000 individuals
(a) exactly 3 and
(b) more than 2 individuals will suffer a bad reaction. Use MINITAB and find the answers using both the Poisson and the binomial distributions.
Question 3. A box contains 5 red balls, 4 white balls, and 3 blue balls. A ball is selected at random from the box, its color is noted, and then the ball is replaced. Find the probability that out of 6 balls selected in this manner, 3 are red, 2 are white, and 1 is blue.
