The Copy Shop has made 20 copies of a document for you. Since the defective rate is 0.1, you think there may be some defective c

opies in your order, so you leaf through the first ten (which are a randomly chosen subset).
If there are 2 defective copies among the 20, what is the probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine?


X = number of copies with a defect


a. X ~ binomial


b. X ~ negative binomial


c. X ~ hypergeometric


d. X ~ Poisson

Answer:

Binomial

There is a 34.87% probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each copy of the document, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem

Of the 20 copies, 2 are defective, so p = \frac{2}{20} = 0.1.

What is the probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine?

This is P(X = 0) when n = 10.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{10} = 0.3487

There is a 34.87% probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine.

Based on the data in the two-way table, the probability of being 25-35 years and having a hemoglobin level above 11 is __ a.29 b
Alina [70]

The probability of being 25-35 years and having a haemoglobin level above 11 is 34%.

The probability of having a haemoglobin level above 11 is 36%.

Being 25-35 years and having a hemoglobin level above 11 are not dependent on each other.

<h3>What are the probabilities?
</h3>

Probability determines the odds that a random event would occur. The odds of the event happening lie between 0 and 1.

The probability of being 25-35 years and having a haemoglobin level above 11 = number of people between 25 - 35 that have a level above 11 / total number of people between 25 - 35

44 / 128 = 34%

The probability of having a haemoglobin level above 11  = number of people with a level above 11 / total number of respondents

153 / 429 = 36%

Idk what to do here could someone help me ??
igor_vitrenko [27]
For 1 kilometer, the customary measure is 62/100 miles. The easiest way to think about this is to forget that the units are miles. Instead think of it as money. If I have $1 that means I have 100 out of 100 cents. So if I have 50 cents my fraction is 50/100; and the way we write this is 0.50... if I have 32 cents then my fraction is 32/100 and we write this as 0.32. So if you have 62 cents out of a 100, how would you write that in decimal form?
