a) A warranty claim center of a large scale firm is committed to reply to customer within 2 working days. A response on warranty claim that taking more than 2 days is considered a failure. The historical data shows that there are 1.25 failures per 20 clams on average.   (i) Find the probability that in the next 20 clams no failures will be observed? (ii) Find the probability that in the next 40 clams at least 3 failures will be observed?
