A soda bottling company’s manufacturing process is calibrated so that 99% of bottles are filled to within specifications, while

1% is not within specification. Every hour, 12 random bottles are taken from the assembly line and tested. If 2 or more bottles in the sample are not within specification, the assembly line is shut down for recalibration. What is the probability that the assembly line will be shut down, given that it is actually calibrated correctly? Use Excel to find the probability. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

The probability that the assembly line will be shut down is 0.00617.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a soda bottling company’s manufacturing process is calibrated so that 99% of bottles are filled to within specifications, while 1% is not within specification.

Every hour, 12 random bottles are taken from the assembly line and tested. If 2 or more bottles in the sample are not within specification, the assembly line is shut down for recalibration.

Let X = <u><em>Number of bottles in the sample that are not within specification</em></u>.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

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

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 12 bottles

             x = number of success  = 2 or more bottles

            p = probabilitiy of success which in our question is probability that  

                 bottles are not within specification, i.e. p = 0.01

So, X ~ Binom (n = 12, p = 0.01)

Now, the probability that the assembly line will be shut down is given by = P(X \geq 2)

  P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)

                 = 1-\binom{12}{0} \times 0.01^{0}\times (1-0.01)^{12-0}-\binom{12}{1} \times 0.01^{1}\times (1-0.01)^{12-1}

                 = 1-(1 \times 1\times 0.99^{12})-(12 \times 0.01^{1}\times 0.99^{11})

                 = <u>0.00617</u>

A landscaper ordered 6 cubic yards of soil. So far she has used 90 cubic feet of soil. How many cubic feet of soil are left?
weqwewe [10]
Okay so you would do 90 / 3 which would be feet / three=yards and then minus it. because 3 feet are in 1 yard

You have a can that is in the shape of a cylinder. It has a volume of about 1,738 cubic centimeters. The height of the can use 2
Papessa [141]

Answer:

~8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that the formula for volume is 3.14 * r^2 * h.

So first we do 1738/23 to get an ugly ~ 75.6 Now he have to square root that to get r.

The square root of 75.6 is ~ 8.7

Can someone explain, i'm literally sweating trying to figure it out
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

54 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

So a fun fact is that the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite two interior angles (at least within triangles).

Given this, set these values equal to each other to get the value of a.

d = a + b

2a = (a+10)+44

2a = a + 54

a = 54

The measure of the exterior angle is 54 degrees.
