Suppose that a random sample of 20 items is selected from the machine. If the machine produces 5% defectives, find the probability that the sample will contain at least three defectives, by using the following methods. (a) the normal approximation to the binomial (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) the exact binomial tables (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0618 = 6.18% probability that the sample will contain at least three defectives.

b) 0.076 = 7.6% probability that the sample will contain at least three defectives

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

Sample of 20 items is selected from the machine.

This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]

5% defectives

This means that [tex]p = 0.05[/tex]

(a) the normal approximation to the binomial

The mean is:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 20*0.05 = 1[/tex]

The standard deviation is:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{20*0.05*0.95} = 0.9747[/tex]

The probability is, using continuity correction, [tex]P(X \geq 3 - 2.5) = P(X \geq 2.5)[/tex] , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{2.5 - 1}{0.9747}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.54[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.54[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9382

1 - 0.9382 = 0.0618

0.0618 = 6.18% probability that the sample will contain at least three defectives.

(b) the exact binomial tables

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.05)^{0}.(0.95)^{20} = 0.358[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.05)^{1}.(0.95)^{19} = 0.377[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.05)^{2}.(0.95)^{18} = 0.189[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.358 + 0.377 + 0.189 = 0.924[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.924 = 0.076[/tex]

0.076 = 7.6% probability that the sample will contain at least three defectives

Answer:

Q1. 4.5

Q2. 7

Q3. 306

Q4. 5/21

Q5. B. Cube

Q6. AEC and BED

Step-by-step explanation:

1. I found what 8*18 was, then I just divided that by 32 to find the missing value.

2. You want to reverse it and then solve so 56/8=7.

3. You can use a calculator for this 918/3=306

4. This you'd want to get the common denominators for each so just convert.

4/7*3/3=12/21

1/3*7/7=7*21

now just solve 12/21-7/21=5/21

5. Cube, there are 6 faces that are squares on it.

6. Acute angles are angles that are smaller than 90 degrees.

7. Feet, beds are long so feet are the best. Inches would be too little, miles are way too much, and gallons aren't even the right measuring unit.

8. So prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided by 1 and themselves so 1 is a prime number because if you divide 1 by 2 you get a fraction. So now we just want to find the prime numbers in this set.

1 is prime

2 is prime

3 is prime

4 is not prime; 4/2=2 whole number

5 is prime

this means that 4/5 numbers are prime, and 4/5=0.8 or 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is:

Because you find the total area of the circle, but the sector only represents NPQ/360 so you have to multiply the area with that.

[tex]46/360 * \pi *20^2[/tex] = [tex]23/180 * \pi *400[/tex]

Suppose you are taking the bus home, and can take either Route 51 or Route 82. You know that the Route 82 will arrive at the bus stop in exactly 5 minutes, but because Route 51 is unreliable, you believe that the amount of time until it arrives is uniformly distributed between 0 and 20 minutes. You take the first bus that arrives. Let T be the number of minutes you wait until you board a bus. Find E[T].

Answers

Answer:

E[T] = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b, and the expected value of the uniform distribution is given by:

[tex]E = \frac{a+b}{2}[/tex]

Uniformly distributed between 0 and 20 minutes.

This means that [tex]a = 0, b = 20[/tex]

Let T be the number of minutes you wait until you board a bus. Find E[T].

This is

[tex]E[T] = \frac{a + b}{2} = \frac{0 + 20}{2} = 10[/tex]

E[T] = 10
