Answer:

0.102

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of defective modems in the inventory is 20% * 30 + 8% * 0.50 =10 (out of 80)

Note that the number of defectives in the inventory is fixed i.e. we are told that there is 1/8 probability that a modem in the inventory is defective, but rather that exactly 1/8 of all modems are defective.

The probability that exactly two modems in a random sample of five are defective is :

(10↓2)(70↓3) / (80↓5) = 0.102
