In proof testing of circuit boards, the probability that any particular diode will fail is 0.01. Suppose a circuit board contains 170 diodes.
(a) How many diodes would you expect to fail?
What is the standard deviation of the number that are expected to
fail?
(b) What is the (approximate) probability that at least four diodes
will fail on a randomly selected board? (Use binomial
approximation.)
(c) If five boards are shipped to a particular customer, how likely
is it that at least four of them will work properly? (A board works
properly only if all its diodes work.)
