Distributions Understanding

A factory produces light bulbs, and the probability that a bulb is defective is 0.05. If a random sample of 10 bulbs is selected, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? Use the binomial distribution formula.

Which of the following scenarios is best modeled by a geometric distribution?

• The number of defective items in a batch of 100.

• The number of phone calls received in an hour.

• The number of trials until the first success in a series of independent Bernoulli trials.

• The number of students in a classroom.

A call center receives an average of 5 calls per hour. What is the probability that exactly 3 calls are received in a given hour? Use the Poisson distribution formula.

Which distribution would you use to model the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials?

• Poisson Distribution

• Geometric Distribution

• Binomial Distribution

• Normal Distribution

If the probability of success in a single trial is 0.2, what is the probability that the first success occurs on the 4th trial? Use the geometric distribution formula.
