A corporation receives a particular part in shipments of 100. Research indicated the probabilities shown in the accompanying table for numbers of defective parts in a shipment.Number 0 1 2 3 >3 defectiveProbability 0.29 0.36 0.22 0.10 0.03a. What is the probability that there will be fewer than three defective parts in a shipment?b. What is the probability that there will be more than one defective part in a shipment?c. The five probabilities in the table sum to 1. Why must this be so?
