. Components of a certain type are shipped to a supplier in batches of ten. Suppose that 50% of all
such batches contain no defective components, 30% contain one defective component, and 20%
contain two defective components. Two components from a batch are randomly selected and
tested. What are the probabilities associated with 0, 1, and 2 defective components being in the
batch under each of the following conditions?
(a) Neither tested component is defective.
(b) One of the two tested components is defective.
[Hint: Draw a tree diagram with three first-generation branches for the three different types of
batches.]
