A lot of 25 skylight covers are received at your construction site, and before installation are subjected to an acceptance testi

ng procedure. The procedure consists of selecting 5 covers at random, without replacement, and testing each one using projectile to simulate hail stone impacts. If 2 or fewer of the 5 covers crack, the remaining ones are accepted. Otherwise the lot is rejected and sent back to the supplier. Assume a lot actually has four defective covers (impact strength is not adequate to withstand the test) among the 25. What is the exact probability of lot acceptance? Hint: Hypergeometric.

Answer:

If the lot has 4 defective covers out of 25 total covers, the probability of accepting the lot is P=0.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a population of N=25 skylight covers, were K=4 are defective.

We sample n=5 covers, and we will accept the lot if k=2 or fewer are defective.

We will use the hypergeometric distribution to model this probabilities.

First, to be accepted, the sample can have 2, 1 or 0 defective covers, so the probability of being accepted is:

P(accepted)=P(k\leq2)=P(k=0)+P(k=1)+P(k=2)

The probability that there are k defective covers in the sample is:

P(k)=\dfrac{\dbinom{k}{k}\dbinom{N-k}{n-k}}{\dbinom{N}{n}}

Then, we can calculate the individual probabilities as:

P(k=0)=\dfrac{\dbinom{4}{0}\cdot \dbinom{25-4}{5-0}}{\dbinom{25}{5}}=\dfrac{\dbinom{4}{0}\cdot \dbinom{21}{5}}{\dbinom{25}{5}}\\\\\\P(k=0)=\dfrac{1\cdot 20349}{53130}=0.38

P(k=1)=\dfrac{\dbinom{4}{1}\cdot \dbinom{25-4}{5-1}}{\dbinom{25}{5}}=\dfrac{\dbinom{4}{1}\cdot \dbinom{21}{4}}{\dbinom{25}{5}}\\\\\\P(k=1)=\dfrac{4\cdot 5985}{53130}=0.45

P(k=2)=\dfrac{\dbinom{4}{2}\cdot \dbinom{25-4}{5-2}}{\dbinom{25}{5}}=\dfrac{\dbinom{4}{2}\cdot \dbinom{21}{3}}{\dbinom{25}{5}}\\\\\\P(k=2)=\dfrac{6\cdot 1330}{53130}=0.15

If we add this probabilities, we have:

P(accepted)=P(k\leq2)=P(k=0)+P(k=1)+P(k=2)\\\\P(accepted)=0.38+0.45+0.15=0.98

If the lot has 4 defective covers out of 25 total covers, the probability of accepting the lot is P=0.98.

4 is added to the data set 22, 25, 31, 33, 24. Answer true or false for the following statements.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The range and mean will increase - False

(because only range will increase, mean will decrease)

The mean and median will decrease - True

The mean will decrease but the median will stay the same - False

(Both of mean and median will decrease)

An outlier is more likely to change the median than the mean - False

(An outlier is more likely to change the mean than the median)

Sean is stacking cans of beans of the market. His shelf is 10 inches tall, 10 inches deep, and 50 inches wide. The cans are 3 in
N76 [4]

Basically you get the volume first:

10 times 10 times 50

Which is 5,000

And we're given the cans volume already:

9.42

So what we do now is divided the area by the cans for our answer:

5,000/9.42

Which is 530.785563

So Sean can stack 530 cans of beans in his shelf.

(when rounding is is 531 cans)
