    Consider the following calculations

    Explanation:

    Using the following formulas we calculate the number of defects

    a) P (x=2) = e^ (-1.2) (1.2) ^2/2!=0.217 [use e = 2.718]

    b) P (X>=9) = 1-P (x<9) = 1-0.9999=0.0001

    P (x<9) = P (x=0) + ... + P (x=8)

    c) P (x>3) = 1-P (x<=3) = 1-0.966=0.034
