A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 13% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as

"seconds." (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a)Among six randomly selected goblets, how likely is it that only one is a second?
(b)Among six randomly selected goblets, what is the probability that at least two are seconds?
(c)If goblets are examined one by one, what is the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds?

Answer:

(a) The probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b) The probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c) The probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of seconds in the batch.

The probability of the random variable <em>X</em> is, <em>p</em> = 0.31.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

(a)

Compute the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P(X=1)={6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=6\times 0.13\times 0.4984\\=0.3888

Thus, the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

              =1-{6\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{6-0}-{6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=1-0.4336+0.3888\\=0.1776

Thus, the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c)

If goblets are examined one by one then to find four that are not seconds we need to select either 4 goblets that are not seconds or 5 goblets including only 1 second.

P (4 not seconds) = P (X = 0; n = 4) + P (X = 1; n = 5)

                            ={4\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{4-0}+{5\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{5-1}\\=0.5729+0.3724\\=0.9453

Thus, the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Question 1:

We are going to add.

1/5 + 1/2

2/10 + 5/10

7/10

Note that we are going DOWN so the number will be negative.

Therefore, the answer is A.) -7/10

Question 2:

We are going to subtract.

4 1/2 - 1 2/3

9/2 - 5/3

27/6 - 10/6

17/6 or 2 5/6

Note that we are still BELOW sea level so the number will be negative.

Therefore, the answer is C.) -2 5/6

Question 3:

We are going to subtract.

2 2/3 - 1 1/5

8/3 - 6/5

40/15 - 18/15

22/15 or 1 7/15

Therefore, the answer is B.) 1 7/15

Best of Luck!
