2.122 In the field of quality control, the science of statistics is often used to determine if a process is "out of control." Suppose the process is, indeed, out of con- trol and 20% of items produced are defective. (a) If three items arrive off the process line in succes- sion, what is the probability that all three are de- fective? (b) If four items arrive in succession, what is the prob- ability that three are defective?
