9. Suppose that in a production of spark plugs the fraction of defective plugs


has been constant at over a long time and that this process is controlled
every half hour by drawing and inspecting two just produced. Find the

probabilities of getting (a) no defectives, (b) 1 defective, (c) 2 defectives.


What is the sum of these probabilities?​

Given : in a production of spark plugs the fraction of defective plugs


has been constant 2 % at over a long time
process is controlled every half hour by drawing and inspecting two just produced.

To Find : probabilities of getting


(a) no defectives, (b) 1 defective, (c) 2 defectives.
sum of these probabilities

Solution:

the fraction of defective plugs has been constant 2 % at over a long time
=> probability of defective p = 0.02
probability of non defective = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98
n=2
P(x) = ⁿCₓpˣqⁿ⁻ˣ

probabilities of getting no defectives


x=0
=> P(0) = ²C₀(0.02)⁰(0.98)² = 0.9604

probabilities of getting 1 defective


x=1
=> P(1) = ²C₁(0.02)¹(0.98)¹= 0.0392

probabilities of getting 2 defectives


x=2
=> P(2) = ²C₂(0.02)²(0.98)⁰= 0.0004

sum of these probabilities = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) = 1


0.9604 + 0.0392 + 0.0004 = 1
