A simple random sample of 110 analog circuits is obtained at random from an ongoing production process in which 20% of all circu

its produced are defective. Let X be a binomial random variable corresponding to the number of defective circuits in the sample. Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to compute P ( 17 ≤ X ≤ 25 ) , the probability that between 17 and 25 circuits in the sample are defective. Report your answer to two decimal places of precision.

Answer:

64.56% probability that between 17 and 25 circuits in the sample are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 110, p = 0.2

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 110*0.2 = 22

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{110*0.2*0.8} = 4.1952

Probability that between 17 and 25 circuits in the sample are defective.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 25 subtrated by the pvalue of Z when X = 17. So

X = 25

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{25 - 22}{4.1952}

Z = 0.715

Z = 0.715 has a pvalue of 0.7626.

X = 17

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{17 - 22}{4.1952}

Z = -1.19

Z = -1.19 has a pvalue of 0.1170.

0.7626 - 0.1170 = 0.6456

64.56% probability that between 17 and 25 circuits in the sample are defective.

I need help finding the Function notation
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

  1.5, -8, 0, 2f, 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

j(x) = 2x means the function name is j, and it is a function of the variable x. To evaluate the function, you put the given value everywhere you see x, and do the arithmetic.

  j(0.75) = 2(0.75) = 1.5

  j(-4) = 2(-4) = -8

  j(0) = 2(0) = 0

  j(f) = 2f

  j(1/3) = 2(1/3) = 2/3

When Marcus weighed the watermelon in his garden a week ago, it weighed 2.8 pounds. Yesterday, the watermelon weighed 4.67 pound
CaHeK987 [17]
The answer is 1.87 pounds heavier. This is found out by subtracting 2.8 from 4.67.
Hope this helps!
