Practice question

Question

One percent of the cars manufactured by a company are defective. What is the probability ( upto four decimals) that more than two cars are defective, if 100 cars are produced? __________

Explanation

Poisson λ=1 for n=100, p=0.01. P>2=1-P0-P1-P2=1-e⁻¹(1+1+0.5)=0.0803. Binomial exact gives ~0.079. Result shows low defect rate still yields occasional clusters, relevant for quality control and probabilistic modeling of rare events. Additional evidence from controlled experiments and theoretical models further supports this conclusion in biotechnology literature.
