Among 13 electrical components exactly 3 are known not to function properly. If 7 components are randomly selected, find the following probabilities: (i) The probability that all selected components function properly. (ii) The probability that exactly 2 are defective. (iii) The probability that at least 1 component is defective.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that among 13 electrical components exactly 3 are known not to function properly.

7 components are randomly selected

In this 7 components each component is independent of the other for not to function properly.  Also there are two outcomes.

X - no of components not to function properly is Bin with n=7 and

p = [tex]\frac{3}{13} =0.2308[/tex]

a) The probability that all selected components function properly.

=[tex]P(x=7) = (1-0.2308)^7\\\\=0.7692^7\\=0.1593[/tex]

b) The probability that exactly 2 are defective

= P(x=2) =[tex]7C2(0.2308)^2(0.7692)^5\\=0.0899[/tex]

c) The probability that at least 1 component is defective.

=[tex]P(X\geq 1) =1-P(X=0)\\=1-0.00526\\=0.9947[/tex]
