A company makes water pumps. The probability that a randomly selected pump is defective is equal to p. What is the probability that a sample of M pumps will contain exactly 3 defective items? Use Binomial distribution and Poisson distribution. Comment upon your results.
Parameters are calculated as follows:
(a) Calculated values of parameters:
M =
p =
