The lot has 30 bulbs with 6 defective, so on each draw (with replacement, independent) p=6/30=1/5p = 6/30 = 1/5 is defective and q=4/5q=4/5 is good. With 4 draws, X∼Binomial(4,1/5)X\sim Binomial(4, 1/5): P(X=0)=q4=256/625P(X=0)=q^4=256/625; P(X=1)=(41)pq3=256/625P(X=1)=\binom41 pq^3=256/625; P(X=2)=(42)p2q2=96/625P(X=2)=\binom42 p^2q^2=96/625; P(X=3)=(43)p3q=16/625P(X=3)=\binom43 p^3q=16/625; $P(X=4) …
