There are 6% defective items in a large bulk of times. Find the probability that a sample of 8 items will include not more than one detective item.

Using Bernoulli’s Trial P(Success=x) = nCx.px.q(n-x)


x=0, 1, 2, ………n and q = (1-p), n =8


The probability of success, i.e. the bulb is defective = p =


q =


probability of that there is not more than one defective piece=


P(0 defective items) + P(1 defective item) =


8C0.()0()8 + 8C1.()1()7
