A certain manufacturing process yields electrical fuses of which, in the long run 15% are defective. Find the probability that in a random sample of size n=10, fuses selected from this process, there will be (i) No defective fuse (ii) At least one defective fuse (iii) Exactly two defective fuses (iv) At most one defective fuse
