Using the distribution in Exercise 2, let the random variable Y be the number of defects on a contact lens randomly selected from lenses produced during the shift.
(a) Find the mean and variance of Y for the shift.
(b) Assume that the lenses are produced independently. What is the probability that five lenses drawn randomly from the production line during the shift will be defect-free?
Exercise 2
The following is a probability distribution of the number of defects on a given contact lens produced in one shift on a production line:
Let A be the event that one defect occurred, and B be the event that 2, 3, or 4 defects occurred. Find:
(a) P(A) and P(B)
(b) P(A and B)
(c) P(A or B)
