Question

A box of 100 transistors contains (exactly) 3 faulty units. Ten of the transistors are randomly chosen. Determine, to two decimal places, the expected number of faulty units chosen.
- how would this problem need to be set up and what are the steps to figure out the answer?

Explanation / Answer

here this is hypergeometric distribuition with paramter

N =total population size =100

k=total number of sucess in sample =3

n=sample size taken =10

hence expected number of faulty units chosen =nk/N =10*3/100 =0.3
