A manufacturer produces a component for use in the automotive industry. It is known that 1% of the items produced are defective. Suppose a random sample of 20 items is examined. (a) Find the probability that (i) no defectives are found in the sample, (ii) one or fewer defectives are found in the sample. (b) Find: (i) the mean (expected) number of defectives in the sample, (ii) the variance and standard deviation.
Let X be a random variable which denotes the number of defective items in the sample of 20 items.
X follows binomial distribution with
n = 20, p = 0.01. Thus, q = 0.99
(a)
(i) P(no defectives are found in the sample) = P(X = 0)
= = 0.8179
(ii) P(one or fewer defectives are found in the sample)
= P(X <= 1) = P(X=0) + P(X=1)
= 0.8179 +
= 0.98314
(b)
(i) Mean number of defectives in the sample = np = 20*0.01 = 0.2
(ii) Variance = npq = 20*0.01*0.99 = 0.198
Standard deviation = = 0.445

A company operates an assembly line. The company believes that there is a 3% probability that any given item produced on the line will contain a defect. If 100 items are pulled at random from the line, what is the probability there will be exactly 4 defective items? If 100 items are pulled at random from the line, what is the probability there will be 9 or more defective items? If X = the number of defectives in a sample...
QUESTION 1 (a) A resistor manufacturer company wants to evaluate the durability of resulting resistor. A random sample of 500 resistor was examined, 20 were defective. 0 What is probability that the sample proportion will lie within 2% of the true population proportion of defective resistor manufactured by this company? [10 marks) (b) (ii) What is the approximate sample size necessary for the company in order to be within 2% of the population proportion with a probability of 0.95? [3...
A manufacturer produces test tubes from two independent processes. Process 1 produces 10% defectives while Process 2 produces 15% defectives. Random samples of size 100 are obtained from each process on a daily basis. What is the probability that the sample from Process 1 has fewer defectives than the of Process 2?
1. Daily production produces 50,000 balloons. It is known that theproduction process produces 0.004% defective balloons (i.e., the probability that a randomly selected balloon is defective is 0.00004). Whether one balloon is defective or not is independent of all other balloons. From one day’s production, estimate the chance of producing at least 3 defective balloons. 2. A shipment contains 100 I-Pods, 8 of which are defective. I sample 4I-Pods from the shipment of 100 I-Pods at random. Estimate the chance of...
Suppose machine 1 produces items that are independently defective with probability 0.01, machine 2 produces items that are independently defective with probability 0.02, and machine 3 produces items that are independently defective with probability 0.04. Suppose we purchase a box with 100 items in it, all of which were produced by the same machine. The box was produced by machine 1 with probability 0.5, by machine 2 with probability 0.3, and by machine 3 with probability 0.2. (a) Find the...
A manufacturer produces widgets that are packaged in boxes of 150. The probability of a widget being defective is 0.023. Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of defective widgets in a box. The mean, mu , is ___. (Round to the nearest hundredth as needed.) The standard deviation, sigma , is ___. (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
A manufacturer produces piston rings for an automobile engine. It is known that ring diameter is approximately normal distributed and has standard deviation σ = 25 hours. A random sample of 62 bulbs has a mean life of x-bar = 74.036 mm. Construct a 90% confidence interval around the true population mean for piston ring diameter.
7. Suppose that the average weekly earnings for employees in general automotive repair shops is $450, and that the standard deviation for the weekly earnings for such employees is SSO. A sample of 100 such employees is selected at random. a) Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the average weekly earnings in the sample. (b) Find probability that the mean of the sample is less than $445. (e) Find the probability that the mean of...
Appreciate if you can answer this ONE QUESTION COMPLETELY and give me a detailed working with explanation for me to understand. Once completed so long as my doubts are cleared and the solutions are correct, I will definitely vote up. Some of the question are similiar to take a look carefully before you answer as it's very important for me. Thank you Question 1 A laboratory test is 95 % correct in detecting a certain disease when the disease is...
1. Suppose a manufacturer has plants at two different locations. From the long-time observations, it is known that approximately 5% and 8% defectives are produced at these two locations. Random samples of 300 items are selected from one week's production at each location. What is the likelihood that the sample proportions will differ by less than 1%.
