Answer:
0.818
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the shipment has a ton of aspirin tablets, we can assume that we pick 13 of them <em>with</em> <em>reposition, </em>because the probability shoudn't change dramatically from the probability of picking without reposition if we do so.
We call D the amount of defective tablets. If we assume that we pick the tablets with reposition, then we obtain that D is a random variable of Binomial distribution with parameters 13 and 0.6 (the probability of picking a defective tablet).
We want D to be at most one. To calculate the probability of that event we add up the probability of D being equal to 0 and the probability of D being equal to one. Since D is binomial, we have
We conclude that
Hence, the shipment will be accepted with probability 0.818

Answer:
a)P=0.42
b)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a binomial distribution, since the result of each experiment admits only two categories (success and failure) and the value of both possibilities is constant in all experiments. The probability of getting k successes in n trials is given by:
a) we have k=2, n=10 and p=0.01:
b) We have, , Here P is the probability that at least one particle will penetrate the shield, this probabity has to be equal or greater than 0.95. Therefore, this will be equal to subtract from the total probability, the probability that the particles do not penetrate raised to the total number of particles.
