There are 3000 IC chips on a 12-inch silicon wafer. It is known that the probability that the chips on
the wafer are defective is 3/1000 .What is the probability that atleast 3 chips will be defective on the
wafer.
A Test Engineer is testing the chips across the wafer. The engineer encounters a defective chip. What
is the probability that the engineer will encounter another defective chip during the next 200 tests.
Another engineer is testing a different set of chips from a different wafer and hasn't seen a defective
chip for the past 50 chips. What is the probability that the engineer will test a defective chip during
the next 200 chip tests?
