If p(a|b) = 0.40 and p(b) = 0.30, find p(a ∩ b). .171 .525 .571 .120

1 answer:

7 0

P(A|B)=P<span>(A ∩ B)/P(B) (by definition of conditional probability)
=>
</span>P(A ∩ B) = P(A|B) * P(B)
=0.40*0.30
=0.120

In a process that manufactures bearings, 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification. A shipment contains 500 bearings. A

vredina [299]

Answer:

c) P(270≤x≤280)=0.572

d) P(x=280)=0.091

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of bearings have a proportion p=0.90 of satisfactory thickness.

The shipments will be treated as random samples, of size n=500, taken out of the population of bearings.

As the sample size is big, we will model the amount of satisfactory bearings per shipment as a normally distributed variable (if the sample was small, a binomial distirbution would be more precise and appropiate).

The mean of this distribution will be:

$\mu_s=np=500*0.90=450$

The standard deviation will be:

$\sigma_s=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{500*0.90*0.10}=\sqrt{45}=6.7$

We can calculate the probability that a shipment is acceptable (at least 440 bearings meet the specification) calculating the z-score for X=440 and then the probability of this z-score:

$z=(x-\mu_s)/\sigma_s=(440-450)/6.7=-10/6.7=-1.49\\\\P(z>-1.49)=0.932$

Now, we have to create a new sampling distribution for the shipments. The size is n=300 and p=0.932.

The mean of this sampling distribution is:

$\mu=np=300*0.932=279.6$

The standard deviation will be:

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300*0.932*0.068}=\sqrt{19}=4.36$

c) The probability that between 270 and 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable can be calculated with the z-score and using the continuity factor, as this is modeled as a continuos variable:

$P(270\leq x\leq280)=P(269.5$

d) The probability that 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable can be calculated using again the continuity factor correction:

$P(X=280)=P(279.5$
