Answer:

Probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is 0.7324.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a company purchases shipments of machine components and uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 30 components and accept the whole batch if there are fewer than 3 defectives.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

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

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 30 components

            r = number of success = fewer than 3

           p = probability of success which in our question is % rate

                 of defects, i.e; 6%

<em>LET X = Number of defective components</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=30, p=0.06)

Now, Probability that this whole shipment will be accepted only when there are fewer than 3 defectives = P(X < 3)

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

= \binom{30}{0}\times 0.06^{0} \times (1-0.06)^{30-0}+ \binom{30}{1}\times 0.06^{1} \times (1-0.06)^{30-1}+ \binom{30}{2}\times 0.06^{2} \times (1-0.06)^{30-2}

= 1 \times 1 \times 0.94^{30}+ 30 \times 0.06^{1}  \times 0.94^{29}+ 435 \times 0.06^{2} \times 0.94^{28}

= 0.7324

Therefore, probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is 0.7324.

How does 0.03 compare to 0.003
kati45 [8]

0.03 compare to 0.003

While comparing decimals we write the decimals one below the other according to the place value of each digits in place value chart

ones -- point -- Tenths -- Hundredths -- Thousandths

 0          .             0              3

 0          .             0              0                      3

Now we compare each digit left to right. We have 3 in hundredths  and 0 in hundredths place. 3 is greater

So 0.03  is greater than  0.003

0.03 > 0.003
