1. A quality control inspector checks a single product. It's either defective or not defective. Is this scenario well-modeled by a Bernoulli distribution? Why or why not?

**Bernoulli distribution** - Single trial with two possible outcomes (defective vs. not defective).
259+
**Yes** - This scenario perfectly fits the Bernoulli distribution requirements:
260+
- **Single trial**: Checking one product
261+
- **Two possible outcomes**: Defective (success/1) or not defective (failure/0)
262+
- **Fixed probability**: The defect rate is constant for each product
263+
264+
If the defect rate is 5%, we'd use Bernoulli(p=0.05).

2. For a Bernoulli distribution with p = 0.3, what is P(X = 0)?
