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.

A microscope can magnify the object it is looking at 10×4 times. How many times is that? (MCC.8.EE.3) A. 40,000 times B. 40 time
damaskus [11]

Answer:

10×4 = 40

10^4 = 10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

10^4 is another way to write 10⁴ = 10·10·10·10 = 10,000.

Essentially, the exponent tells you how many places to the right of the leading digit the decimal point lies (here, the number of zeros in the number).

_____

<em>Comment on the answer choice</em>

The appropriate answer depends on what you mean by your problem statement. Some microscopes magnify 40 times; others magnify 10,000 times, so we cannot tell the appropriate answer using our knowledge of microscopes.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

1.32% of students have the chance to attend the charter school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions 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.

This year the mean on the entrance exam was an 82 with a standard deviation of 4.5.

This means that \mu = 82, \sigma = 4.5

a.What is the percentage of students who have the chance to attend the charter school?

Students who achieve a score of 92 or greater are admitted, which means that the proportion is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 92. So

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

Z = \frac{92 - 82}{4.5}

Z = 2.22

Z = 2.22 has a pvalue of 0.9868

1 - 0.9868 = 0.0132

0.0132*100% = 1.32%

1.32% of students have the chance to attend the charter school.
