2. (a) Director of quality control for the Kyoto Motor Company is conducting his monthly spot check of (5)
automatic transmissions. In the procedure, 10 transmissions are removed from the pool of
components and are checked for manufacturing defects. Historically, only 2 percent of the
transmissions have such flaws. Assume that flaws occur independently in different transmissions.
what is the probability that Mr. Anderson’s sample does not contain more than two transmissions
with manufacturing flaws?
Hint: First Define your variable, range of the variable, Formula to be used, reason to use this formula,
and then finally the requirement.

(b) The concept of conditional probability has countless applications in both industrial and biomedical (5)
applications. Consider an industrial process in the textile industry in which strips of a particular type
of cloth are being produced. These strips can be defective in two ways, length and nature of texture.
For the case of the latter, the process of identification is very complicated. It is known from historical
information on the process that 10% of strips fail the length test, 5% fail the texture test, and only
0.8% fail both tests. If a strip is selected randomly from the process and a quick measurement
identifies it as failing the length test, what is the probability that it is texture defective?
