1.

(a)


"P(0\\ defects)=\\dfrac{10}{10+4+2}=\\dfrac{5}{8}"

(b)


"P(0\\ major\\ defects)=\\dfrac{10+4}{10+4+2}=\\dfrac{7}{8}"

(c)


"P(0\\ defects\\ or\\ major)=\\dfrac{10+2}{10+4+2}=\\dfrac{6}{8}"

2.

(a)


"P(2\\ good)=\\dfrac{10}{16}(\\dfrac{10-1}{16-1})=\\dfrac{3}{8}"

(b)


"P(2\\ major)=\\dfrac{2}{16}(\\dfrac{2-1}{16-1})=\\dfrac{1}{120}"

(c)


"P(good\\ge1)=1-P(0\\ good)"

"=1-\\dfrac{6}{16}(\\dfrac{6-1}{16-1})=\\dfrac{7}{8}"

(d)


"P(good\\le1)=1-P(2\\ good)"

"=1-\\dfrac{3}{8}=\\dfrac{5}{8}"

(e)


"P(exactly\\ 1\\ good)=\\dfrac{10}{16}(\\dfrac{6}{16-1})+\\dfrac{6}{16}(\\dfrac{10}{16-1})"

"=\\dfrac{1}{2}"

(f)


"P(0\\ major)=\\dfrac{14}{16}(\\dfrac{14-1}{16-1})=\\dfrac{91}{120}"
