In a lot of 100 microcircuits, 20 are defective. Four microcircuits are chosen at random to be tested.

Let X denote the number of tested circuits that are defective.

a. Identify the distribution of X , including any parameters, and find P(X = 2). You do not need to provide a decimal answer.

b. If appropriate (check), estimate P(X = 2) using an appropriate method.
