4. Light bulbs are tested for their life-span. It is found that 4% of the light bulbs are rejected. A random sample of 15 bulbs is taken from stock and tested. The random variable X is the number of bulbs that a rejected.
a. Give four reasons why X will have a binomial distribution.
b. Use a formula to find the probability that 2 light bulbs in the sample are rejected.
