The probability that the machine produces fewer than 5 defective widgets in a production run of 100 items is 0.10
A probability refers to the ratio of favorable events to the n number of total events.
Also, it means the chance that a particular event (s) will occur expressed on a linear scale from 0 to 1 which can also be expressed as a percentage between 0 and 100%.
Given data
An industrial machine produces 5 widgets.
It has a 0.07 defective rate.
Defective rate fewer than 5
Total Probability = P of 4 defective + P for 3 defective + P for 2 defective + P for 1 defective.
Total Probability = 4/100 + 3/99 + 2/98 + 1/97
Total Probability ≈ 0.10
Therefore, the required probability for fewer than 5 defective rate is 0.10
