In a factory producing electronic components, the quality control team randomly inspects a sample of 500 products out of a production batch of 10,000. If historical data shows a defect rate of 2%, what is the probability of finding at least 10 defective components in the sample, considering the variability of the defect rate and assuming a binomial distribution for the number of defects observed?
