(b) There is a probability of 0.05 that a toy punched by an experienced operator will

contain an error. Find the probability that in a random sample of 20 toys punched by

an experienced operator there will be no more than 3 toys containing errors. [8 marks]

(c) Of the total number of toy punched in a day by a pool of operators, 4% are punched by

trainee operators and 96% by experienced operators. Show that the probability that

a toy chosen at random from a daily output in this pool contains an error is equal to

0.056.
