9 x 0.9 = 0.729 (b) P(Exactly two of the three welds are defective) = P( D1 D2D3 D1 D 2 D3 D1 D2 D3 ) = P( D1 D2D3) + P(D1 D 2 D3) + P(D1 D2 D3 ) since the three events are mutually exclusive. Hence, the probability become P = 0.9x0.1x0.1 + 0.1x0.9x0.1 + 0.1x0.1x0.9 = 0.027 (c) P(all 3 welds defective) = P(D1 D2 D3) = P3(D) = (0.1)3 = 0.001
