In a certain manufacturing process, it is known that, on average, 1 in every 100 items is defective.

A: What is the probability that the fifth item inspected is the first defective item found?

B: What is the probability that in a sample of 5 items, one is defective?

A. 0.009899

B. 0.005624

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Let the probability that an item is defective =

The probability that the item is not defective =

The probability that the fifth item is defective =

                                                                            = 0.009899

Probability that one in 5 items is defective  = 0.005624

30.5*10=350$

you have to multiply the number without the decimal point then add it later but if its tenn u must move the place value of the decimal point 1 to the right.
