We assume a known probability distribution for this kind of problem.  The population is big enough (100 pages).   We can say that the number of defective pages is a random variable X.  The probability of any randomly selected page being defective is equal and  = 100/1000 = 0.1

      In the first 50 pages, the expected number of defective pages is 50 * 0.1 = 5.  Let X denote the number of defective pages in the first 50 pages.
