Two percent of the bolts manufactured in a factory are found to be defective. Using the Poisson distribution, the probability that in a sample of 100 bolts chosen at random, exactly two will be defective, is : [Given \(e^{-2}=0.135\)]

  1. A 0.5
  2. B 1
  3. C 0.135
  4. D 0.27
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.27

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = n \times p = 100 \times 0.02 = 2\) \(P(X=k) = \frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}\) \(P(X=2) = \frac{2^2 e^{-2}}{2!} = \frac{4 \times 0.135}{2} = 2 \times 0.135 = 0.27\)
