Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives computer boards in lots of five. Three boards are selected from each lot randomly for inspection. If we number the boards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, a possible random selection is (2, 4, 5). a. List the ten different possible selections. b. Suppose that the boards 1 and 4 are the only defective boards in a lot of five. Three boards are to be chosen at random. Define X as the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution (pmf) of X.

Question
Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming
materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives computer boards in lots
of five. Three boards are selected from each lot randomly for inspection. If we number
the boards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, a possible random selection is (2, 4, 5).
a. List the ten different possible selections.
b. Suppose that the boards 1 and 4 are the only defective boards in a lot of
five. Three boards are to be chosen at random. Define X as the number of
defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability
distribution (pmf) of X.
