(b) Write down the binomial distribution for x successes in n independent trials each with probability p of success.

(c) On average, 0.15% of the nails manufactured at a factory are known to be defective. If a random sample of 400 nails is inspected, what is the probability of there being no more than 3 defective nails?

4.

1. This isn't number theory.
2. This forum isn't for homework; homework forums are at the top.
3. We can't help you with homework problems unless you show your own work.
