x defective eqqs: C_x ^(10) 0.2^x 0.8^(10−x) p=1−Σ_(x=0) ^3 C_x ^(10) 0.2^x 0.8^(10−x) =1−1×0.2^0 ×0.8^(10) −10×0.2×0.8^9 −45×0.2^2 ×0.8^8 −120×0.2^3 ×0.8^7 =0.12

$${x}\:{defective}\:{eqqs}:\:{C}_{{x}} ^{\mathrm{10}} \mathrm{0}.\mathrm{2}^{{x}} \mathrm{0}.\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{10}−{x}} \\ $$$${p}=\mathrm{1}−\underset{{x}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\mathrm{3}} {\sum}}{C}_{{x}} ^{\mathrm{10}} \mathrm{0}.\mathrm{2}^{{x}} \mathrm{0}.\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{10}−{x}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{1}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{0}} ×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{10}} −\mathrm{10}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{9}} −\mathrm{45}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} ×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{8}} −\mathrm{120}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{3}} ×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{7}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{12} \\ $$
