Answer: 2 diodes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In proof testing of circuit boards, the probability that any particular diode will fail is 0.01.

The number of diodes contained by circuit board = 200

Then , the expected number of diodes to fail is given by :-


0.01*200=2

Therefore, there are 2 diodes that we will expect to fail.
