a) Explain how Pascal's triangle may be used to identify the number of possible outcomes, based on five trials (i.e. n = 5). Derive an expression, based on a Binomial expansion, which shows the probability of each possible outcome. b) It is found that 2.5 % of the components removed at random from a semiconductor manufacturing facility are faulty. A sample of 5 components is withdrawn at random from the production line. Find the probability that: i) No components are faulty ii) All five components are faulty iii) One component is faulty
