Question

There are 200 packets in a large box and each packet contains 3 electric devices in it. On testing, at the time of packing, it was noted that there are some faulty pieces in the packets. The data is as below

$\begin{matrix} N o o f f a u l t y d e v i c e s i n a p a c k e t & L e s s t h a n 24 & 24 - 36 & 36 - 48 & m o r e t h a n 48 & T o t a l B a t t e r i e s N u m b e r o f b a t t e r i e s & 50 & 240 & 550 & 160 & 1000 \end{matrix}$

(i) If a buyer will only tolerate atthe maximum one faulty piece in a packet, what is the probability that a packet will be rejected?
(ii) Another buyer will only take packets with all the pieces functional. What is the probability that a packet will be rejected? [4 MARKS]

Packets with more than one defective piece = 15 + 5 = 20
(i) Probability that the first buyer will reject a packet = 20/200 = 0.1
Packets with at least one piece that is defective = 15 + 5 + 25 = 45
(ii) Probability that the second buyer will reject a packet = 45/200 = 0.225

There are $500$ packets in a large box and each packet contains $4$ electronic devices in it. On testing, at the time of packing, it was noted that there are some faulty pieces in the packets. The data is as below :

No. of faulty devices in a packet	Number of packets
$0$	$300$
$1$	$100$
$2$	$50$
$3$	$30$
$4$	$20$
Total number of packets	$500$

If one packet is drawn from the box, what is the probability that all the four devices in the packet are without any fault?
