Answer:
a) The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is 30%.
b) Many of the shipments with this rate of defective aspirin tablets will be rejected.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a shipment of 3000 aspirin tablets, with a 5% rate of defects.
We select a sample of size 48 and test for defectives.
If more than one aspirin is defective, the batch is rejected.
The amount of defective aspirin tablets X can be modeled as a binomial distribution random variable, with p=0.55 and n=48
We have to calculate the probabilities that X is equal or less than 1: P(X≤1).
Arithmetic sequences have a common difference between consecutive terms.
Geometric sequences have a common ratio between consecutive terms.
Let's compute the differences and ratios between consecutive terms:
Differences:
Ratios:
So, as you can see, the differences between consecutive terms are constant, whereas ratios vary.
So, this is an arithmetic sequence.
