Question

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Binomial distribution requires all of the following to be satisfied:

1. size of experiment (N=27) is known.

2. each trial of experiment is Bernoulli trial (i.e. either fail or pass)

3. probability (p=0.14) remains constant through trials.

4. trials are independent, and random.

Binomial distribution can be used as a close approximation, with the  usual assumption that a sample of 27 in thousands of stock is representative of the population., and is given by the probability of x successes (defective).

P(x)=C(N,x)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where N=27, p=0.14, and C(N,x) is the number of combinations of x items out of N.

So we need the probability of at most one defective, which is

P(0)+P(1)

= C(27,0)*0.14^0*(0.86)^(27) + C(27,1)*0.14^1*(0.86^26)

=1*1*0.0170 + 27*0.14*0.0198

=0.0170+0.0749

=0.0919
