such heaters last month. Find the probabilities that among these heaters, the following numbers were defective.
(a) Fewer than 239
The probability that fewer than 239 parts are defective is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(b) More than 263
The probability more than 263 are defective is

Suppose that 30 percent of the bottles produced in a certain
plant are defective. If a bottle is defective, the probability is
0.9 that an inspector will notice it and remove it from the filling
line. If a bottle is not defective, the probability is 0.2 that the
inspector will think that it is defective and remove it from the
filling line. If a bottle is removed from the filling line,what is
the probability that it is defective?
