Problem Statement. A notice is sent to all owners of a certain type ofautomobile, asking them to bring their cars to a dealer to check for thepresence of a particular manufacturing defect. Suppose that only0.05% of such cars have the defect. Consider a random sample of10,000 cars.a. What are the expected value and standard deviation of thenumber of cars in the sample that have the defect?b. What is the (approximate) probability that at least 10 sampledcars have the defect?c. What is the (approximate) probability that no sampled cars havethe defect?

Given: Sample size n = 10000 p (defect )= 0.0005

a. What are the expected value and standard deviation of the number of cars in the sample that have the defect? b. What is the (approximate) probability that at least 10 sampled cars have the defect? c. What is the (approximate) probability that no sampled cars have the defect?
