Required information Gears produced by a grinding process are categorized either as conforming (suitable for their intended purpose), degraded (unsuitable for the intended purpose but usable for another purpose), or scrap (not usable). Suppose that 78% of the gears produced are conforming, 13% are degraded, and 9% are scrap. Ten gears are selected at random. What is the probability that one or more is scrap?
