Items produced in an industrial process can be dassified as either defective or non defective. The probability that an item is defective is 0.1. An experiment is conducted in which 5 items are drawn randomly from the process. Let the random variable x be the number of defective items in this sample of five. Determine the probability mass function f(x).
