    Solutions to Probability Problems

    1. Hitting the Target (Binomial Probability)

    The probability of hitting the target is P = 3/5 = 0.6. The total number of trials is n = 6. The binomial

    probability formula is:

    P(X = k) = C(n, k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)

    (i) Probability of hitting exactly 4 out of 6 shots:

    C(6, 4) = 15

    P(X = 4) = 15 * (0.6)^4 * (0.4)^2 = 0.31104

    Answer: 0.31104

    (ii) Probability of hitting at least 2 times out of 6 shots:

    P(X >= 2) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)]

    P(X = 0) = (0.4)^6 = 0.004096

    P(X = 1) = C(6, 1) * (0.6)^1 * (0.4)^5 = 0.036864

    P(X >= 2) = 1 - (0.004096 + 0.036864) = 0.959

    Answer: 0.959

    (iii) Probability of hitting not more than once out of 6 shots:

    P(X <= 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.004096 + 0.036864 = 0.0409

    Answer: 0.0409
    2. Selecting Defective Capacitors (Hypergeometric Probability)

    The total number of capacitors is N = 20, defective capacitors K = 4, and n = 5 capacitors are

    selected.

    (i) Probability of exactly 3 defective capacitors:

    C(4, 3) * C(16, 2) = 480

    C(20, 5) = 15504

    P(X = 3) = 480 / 15504 = 0.0512

    Answer: 0.0512

    (ii) Probability of no defective capacitors:

    C(4, 0) * C(16, 5) = 4368

    C(20, 5) = 15504

    P(X = 0) = 4368 / 15504 = 0.3276

    Answer: 0.3276

    (iii) Probability of at least one defective capacitor:

    P(At least 1 defective) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.3276 = 0.6723

    Answer: 0.6723
