A manufactured lot of buggy whips has 20 items, of which 5 are defective. A random sample of 5 items is chosen to be inspected.

Find the probability that the sample contains exactly one defective item (a) if the sampling is done with replacement. (b) if the sampling is done without replacement.

Answer:

a. 39.55%

b. 44.02%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

n = 5

x = 1

p = 5/20 = 0.25

to. If the sampling is done with replacement.

We apply the binomial distribution formula, which is as follows:

P = nCx * (p ^ x) * ((1-p) ^ (n-x))

Where nCx, is a combination, and is equal to:

nCx = n! / x! * (n-x)!

replacing we have:

5C1 = 5! / 1! * 4! = 5

replacing in the main formula:

P = 5 * (0.25 ^ 1) * ((1- 0.25) ^ (5-1))

P = 0.3955

that is, without replacing the probability is 39.55%

b. if the sampling is done without replacement.

Here it is a little different from the previous one, but what you should do is calculate three cases,

the first was the one at point a, when n = 5 and x = 1

5C1 = 5! / 1! * 4! = 5

the second is when n = 20 and x = 5, this is all possible scenarios.

20C5 = 20! / 5! * 15! = 15504

and the third is when n = 15 (20-5) and x = 4 (5-1), which corresponds to the cases when none were damaged

15C4 = 15! / 4! * 11! = 1365

In the end, it would be:

P = (5C1 * 15C4) / 20C5

Replacing:

P = 5 * 1365/15504

P = 0.4402

Which means that without replacing the probability is 44.02%

I need help with number 33 thank u!
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

C. 2,150

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that out of 120 passengers, 86 were satisfied with the service.

To find the percentage amount of passengers who were satisfied, we can divide 86 by 120 and get 0.716 repeating (about 71.6%).

Then, we can multiply the total number of passengers, 3,000, by that number and get 2,150.

Identify whether the series sigma notation infinity i=1 15(4)^i-1 is a convergent or divergent geometric series and find the sum
const2013 [10]

Answer:  The correct option is

(d) This is a divergent geometric series. The sum cannot be found.

Step-by-step explanation: The given infinite geometric series is

S=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}15(4)^{i-1}.

We are to identify whether the given geometric series is convergent or divergent. If convergent, we are to find the sum of the series.

We have the D' Alembert's ratio test, states as follows:

Let, \sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i is an infinite series, with complex coefficients a_i and we consider the following limit:

L=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}.

Then, the series will be convergent if  L < 1 and divergent if  L > 1.

For the given series, we have

a_i=15(4)^{i-1},\\\\a_{i+1}=15(4)^i.

So, the limit is given by

L\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i-1}}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i}4^{-1}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4^{-1}}\\\\=4>1.

Therefore, L >1, and so the given series is divergent and hence we cannot find the sum.

Thuds, (d) is the correct option.
