A box contains 24 transistors,4 of which are defective. If 4 are sold at random,find the following probabilities. i. Exactly 2 a

zavuch27 [327]

SOLUTION

This is a binomial probability. For i, we will apply the Binomial probability formula

i. Exactly 2 are defective

Using the formula, we have

$\begin{gathered} P_x=^nC_x\left(p^x\right?\left(q^{n-x}\right) \\ Where\text{ } \\ P_x=binomial\text{ probability} \\ x=number\text{ of times for a specific outcome with n trials =2} \\ p=\text{ probability of success = }\frac{4}{24}=\frac{1}{6} \\ q=probability\text{ of failure =1-}\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6} \\ ^nC_x=\text{ number of combinations = }^4C_2 \\ n=\text{ number of trials = 4} \end{gathered}$

Note that I made the probability of being defective as the probability of success = p

and probability of none defective as probability of failure = q

Exactly 2 are defective becomes the binomial probability

$\begin{gathered} P_x=^4C_2\times\lparen\frac{1}{6})^2\times\lparen\frac{5}{6})^{4-2} \\ P_x=6\times\frac{1}{36}\times\frac{25}{36} \\ P_x=\frac{25}{216} \\ =0.1157 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 0.1157

(ii) None is defective becomes

$\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{5}{6})^4=\frac{625}{1296} \\ =0.4823 \end{gathered}$

hence the answer is 0.4823

(iii) All are defective

$\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{1}{6})^4=\frac{1}{1296} \\ =0.00077 \end{gathered}$

(iv) At least one is defective

This is 1 - probability that none is defective

$\begin{gathered} 1-\lparen\frac{5}{6})^4 \\ =1-\frac{625}{1296} \\ =\frac{671}{1296} \\ =0.5177 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 0.5177

a A hole in the shape of a hemisphere is carved into each face of a cube. The holes are identical and centered at the centre of

morpeh [17]

Diameter of each hemispheral holes = the diameter of a full sphere = side length of cube = 2 units.

<h3>What is a Hemisphere?</h3>

A hemishpere is half of a sphere. Thus, two hemispheres makes one full sphere.

Given the image as shown below, since the identical hemispheral holes are centered at the center of each fce and they touch each other at only one point, it means that two hemisphere meet to make one full sphere.

Therefore, the diameter of a full sphere = side length of cube.

Thus, diameter of each hemispheral holes = the diameter of a full sphere = side length of cube = 2 units.
