Answer:

0.3667 or 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting at least 1 defective hard disk among the 5 (P(X>0)) is equal to 100% minus the probability of getting none defectives (1-P(X=0)).

If 23 out of 25 hard disks are non-defective, the probability is:

P(X>0) = 1 -P(X=0)\\P(X>0) = 1 -\frac{23}{25}*\frac{22}{24} *\frac{21}{23} *\frac{20}{22} *\frac{19}{21}\\ P(X>0) = 0.3667=36.67\%

The probability that there is at least 1 defective hard disk is 0.3667 or 36.67%.

The following graphs show the sampling distributions for two different point estimators, R and W, of the same population paramet
Sidana [21]

The graphs are illustrations of biased and unbiased distributions.

The true statement is (d) R is biased, and W is unbiased

<h3>How to determine which of the graph is biased</h3>

From the graph, we have the following highlight

  • The population parameter of graph R is at the right of the distribution
  • The population parameter of graph W is at the center of the distribution

The above means that:

Graph R is biased, and graph W is unbiased
