The probability that a part produced by a certain factory's assembly line will be defective is 0.036. Suppose a sample of 40 parts is taken. Determine the probability that the sample contains exactly 3 defective parts. Assume that the trials are independent and that the number of defective parts in the sample has a binomial distribution. The probability that exactly 3 parts will be defective is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
