Explanation / Answer

Solution:

total number of shipment = 5000

number of defective products = 50

( a )

probabilty of selecting two defective chips = ( 50 / 5000) * ( 49 / 4999) = 2450/24995000 = 0.00009802

( b )

p = 0.01

probabilty of selecting two defective chips ( independant events) = 0.01 * 0.01 = 0.0001
