Each of 13 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor because of an audible, high-pitched, oscillating noise when the refrigerators are running. Suppose that 8 of these refrigerators have a
defective compressor and the other 5 have less serious problems. If the refrigerators are examined in random order, let X be the number among the first 6 examined that have a defective compressor.
(a) Calculate P(X= 4) and P(X s 4). (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
P(X= 4) =
P(X ≤ 4) =
(b) Determine the probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than 1 standard deviation. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c) Consider a large shipment of 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors. If X is the number among 20 randomly selected refrigerators that have defective compressors, describe a less tedious
