A manufacturer of a computer chip has found that 7% of the chips that come out of production are defective. Assume that the number of defective computer chips satisfy the conditions of a binomial experiment. a) In a random sample of 500 chips, what is the expected number of defective chips? b) Find the probability that at least 40 are defective.
