An industrial process manufactures components with an 8% defective rate. Each day the process is subjected to a quality control inspection; products are inspected sequentially until the first defective is obtained. What is the probability that more than three components will be inspected before a defective is found?

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an electronic scanning technology that can be used to identify items in a number of ways. One advantage of RFID is that it can eliminate the need to manually count inventory, which can help improve inventory management. The technology is not infallible, however, and sometimes errors occur when items are scanned. The probability that a scanning error occurs is 0.0069. 1. Find the probability that the number of items scanned incorrectly is between 16 and 20 , inclusive, from the next 5100 items scanned. *Kindly explain the procedure in Excel for this* A) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) 2. Find the expected number of items incorrectly from the next 5100 items B) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
