Que. 1 : In a mech. sys. 5 bulbs are used and system will operate if any 3 are functioning. Given that 15% of bulbs are defective , with aid of binomial PDF determine what are the chances that the system will malfunction?

Que. 2 : Suppose 15% of total population of tubes is defective and that 5 tubes are randomly selected. Determine the probability that there will be among those selected:
1) no defectives
2) only 2 defectives
3) no more than 2 defectives
4) only 3 defectives
5) no more than 3 defectives

Thread 'Prove that the integral is equal to ##\pi^2/8##'

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
