The probability is determined by the binomial distribution. We consider p = probability of defect, q = probability of not defect, n = sample size, and x= number of defects in sample, in this case x=2. We calculate the probability as P(X = x) = n!/[(n-x)! x!] pxqn-x If sample size = 10 and p = 0.1 then: P(x= 2) = 10!/(8!x2!)(0.1)2(0.9)8 = 0.1937 You can find more about the binomial distribution under Wikipedia. It is important also to note the assumptions when using this distribution. It must be a random sample and the probability of defects is known.

Every time a particular circuit is turned on there is a chance that one or more of its components will fail The probability that none of the components fail is 0.35 The probability that exactly one?

If the probability that no component fails on turn-on is 0.35, then the probability that none will fail after 2, 3, and 4 turn-on's is 0.1225, 0.042875, and 0.015, respectively. This is 0.35 to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th powers, etc. As time goes on, the probability of no failure will approach zero, and the probability of failure will approach 1, but the probability of no failure or some failure will never become exactly 0 or 1.

What is the probability that exactly two times head are being tossed?

The answer depends on how many times the coin is tossed. The probability is zero if the coin is tossed only once! Making some assumptions and rewording your question as "If I toss a fair coin twice, what is the probability it comes up heads both times" then the probability of it being heads on any given toss is 0.5, and the probability of it being heads on both tosses is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25. If you toss it three times and want to know what the probability of it being heads exactly twice is, then the calculation is more complicated, but it comes out to 0.375.

How many children have color blindness in the US?

Evidence from opticians is that about 10% of the male population who have been tested have been found to have some kind of defect in their ability to distinguish between colors, but the percentage is much lower among females. In some cases the defect is caused by a defect in the function of the person's eye rods or cones of his retina, and in others a defect in the nerve cells in his brain. Full color blindness, where everything appears monochromatic is extremely rare, believed to affect less than 0.1% of humans.
