Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities.

Probability that Exactly two will be defective is about 0.23

Probability that at least two will be defective is about 0.341

Given:

Probability of defective pen = 1/10
12 Such Pens manufactured

To Find:

Probability that
(i) exactly two will be defective
(ii) at least two will be defective

Solution:

P(x) = ⁿCₓpˣ(1-p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

n = 12

p = 1/10

1 - p = 1- 1/10 = 9/10

Step 1:

Probability that Exactly two will be defective P(2)

P(2) = ¹²C₂(1/10)²(9/10)¹²⁻²

P(2) = 66 * 9¹⁰ / 10¹²

P(2) ≈ 0.23

Step 2:

Probability that at least two will be defective 1 - P(0) - P(1)

P(0) = ¹²C₀(1/10)⁰(9/10)¹²⁻⁰

P(1) = ¹²C₁(1/10)¹(9/10)¹²⁻¹

1 - P(0) - P(1) ≈ 0.341
