Each of 12 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor because of an audible, high-pitched, oscillating noise when the refrigerator is running. Suppose that 7 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. Compute the following: a. P(X=5) and P(X≤4) b. The probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than 1 standard deviation.
Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.
Binomial Distribution
Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

c. Consider a large shipment of 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors. If X is the number among 15 randomly selected refrigerator that have defective compressors, describe a less tedious way to calculate (at least approximately) P(X≤5) than to use the hyper-geometric pmf.
