Question:
on an average a box contains 2 defective items . find the probability that a randomly selected box has a) 2 defective items be)at most 2 defective items
Answer:

Given, on average a box contains 2 defective items.

a. Probability that a randomly selected box has 2 defective items 

P(r = 2) = (e-2 *2r )/r!  = (e-2 *22 )/2! = (0.13534*4)/2 = 0.13534*2 = 0.27068

b. Probability that a randomly selected box has at most 2 defective items

      P(r ≤ 2) = ∑r (e-2 *2r )/r!   {0 ≤ r ≤ 2}

      P(r ≤ 2) = e-2 *{1 + 2 + 4/2}

=> P(r ≤ 2) = e-2 *{1 + 2 + 2}

=> P(r ≤ 2) = e-2 *5

=> P(r ≤ 2) = 0.13534 *5

=> P(r ≤ 2) = 0.6767
