A machine is operating at rate of 10% defective items. If each item is inspected as it is produced, find the probability that the first defective item found is the fifth item inspected.
Probability of an item being defective = 0.1
So, probability that an item is not defective = 0.9
So, probability that the first defective item found is the fifth item inspected =
= Probability that the first 4 items inspected is not defective * Probability that the fifth item is defective
= 0.9*0.9*0.9*0.9*0.1
= 0.06561.

In a factory, machine A produces 60% of the daily output, and machine B produces 40% of the daily output. After quality control process, 2% of machine A's output is defective, and 3% of machine B's output is defective. If an item was inspected at random, 1- What is the probability that the item is defective? 2- What is the probability that the item was produced by machine A given that it was found defective?
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...
Items are examined sequentially at a manufacturing plant. The probability that an item is defective is 0.05. (a) What is the probability that the first 20 items examined are not defective? (b) What is the expected number of examined items until we get the fifth defective?
The company has two machines that produce certain items. Machine 1 produces 40 % of the the items, and machine 2 produces 60% of the items. Machine 1 produces 3% of defective items and machine 2 produces 5% of defective items. a. The probability that a randomly selected produced item is defective is b. If a randomly selected item is found to be defective, probability that it is produced on machine 2 is
Twenty samples of 100 items each were inspected when a process was considered to be operating satisfactorily. In the 20 samples, a total of 135 items were found to be defective. (a) What is an estimate of the proportion defective when the process is in control? (b) What is the standard error of the proportion if samples of size 100 will be used for statistical process control? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c)Compute the upper and lower control...

6) A company ships computer components in boxes that contain 10 items. Assume that the6) probability of a defective computer component is0.1. Find the probability that in a sample of 5 items the first defective item is the fourth or fifth one checked.
When a particular machine is functioning properly, 75% of the items produced are non-defective. If eight items are examined, what is the probability that one is defective? If eight items are examined, what is the probability that exactly three are non-defective? If eight items are examined, what is the probability that at least 6 are non-defective?
When a particular machine is functioning properly, 80% of the items produced are non-defective. If 3 items are examined, what is the probability that one is defective?
20% of the items on a production line are defective. Randomly insptect items, and let X1 be the number of inspections till the first defective item is observed, and X5 be the number of inspections till the fifth defective item is observed. In both cases, X1 and X5 inlcude the defective item itself (e.g. if the items are {good, good, defective), X1 is 3). Calculate E (%). V (Xs)
