Step 1 As per bartleby guidelines only first three subparts are to be solved. Please upload other parts separately. Given: Probability of defective item is, Number of items, It is known that probability mass function of binomial distribution is, Step 2 a) To find the probability of getting exactly 5 defective items. Let's take in this case, Hence, the probability of getting exactly 5 defective items is 0.1488 Step 3 b) To find the probability of getting no defective items. Let's take in this case, . For , the probability mass function reduces to, Hence, the probability of getting no defective items is 0.0213 Step 4 c) The probability of getting atleast one defective item is the complement of probability of no defective item. Hence the probability of getting atleast one defective item is 0.9787

Step 1
The distribution of the number of defective items in this run is binomial with items and of each item being defective. The probability mass function of the binomial distribution is:
where nCk is the number of combinations of k objects chosen from
1) In this case, we set and , so:
2) In this case, we set k = 0. The binomial probability mass function reduces to when , so
3) The event that at least one item is defective is the compliment of the event that there are no defective items. The probability of a complimentary event happening is , so the probability of at least one defective item is .

Step 1
Let X denotes the number of defective items in a machine which follows binomial distribution with the probability of success 0.05 the number of items selected is 75. That is,
The probability mass function of X is given below:
a) Obtain the probability of getting exactly 5 defective items:
=0.1488
Thus,
Step 2
b) Obtain the probability of getting at least one defective item:
Thus,
c) Obtain the probability of getting at least one defective item:
Thus,
