 Solution

Let $N$ count rotten pieces. Each item supplies an independent Bernoulli trial with success probability $p$, so $N$ has a binomial distribution with parameters $10,p$. There are $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{10}{n}\right)$ choices of the rotten items, and each such choice has probability $p^n(1-p{)}^{10-n}$. HenceFor $p=0$ or $p=1$, interpret this as the corresponding distribution concentrated at zero or ten; no ambiguous $0^0$ evaluation is needed.
