It is known that discs produced by a given manufacturer will each be defective with probability 0.01, independently of each other. The company sells the discs in packages of 10 and offers a money-back guarantee that at most 1 of the 10 discs in the package will be defective. If someone buys 3 packages, what is the probability that he or she will qualify to get money back on exactly one of the three packages?
