In how many ways can an inspector select a sample of five batteries and get (exactly) two of the defectivebatteries?b. What is the probability that an inspector who selects a sample of five batteries will get (exactly) three of thedefective batteries?4. (4 pts) The probability that the statistics group (in the math department) will be recognized on campus for researchcontributions to the Tech is 0.18 and the probability that they will be recognized by the American Statistical Association(ASA) for professional contributions is 0.24.
