A machine that manufactures automobile pistons is estimated to produce a defective piston 1% of the time. Suppose that this esti

mate is correct and that a random sample of 90 pistons produced by this machine is taken. Estimate the number of pistons in the sample that are defective by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.

Answer:

Mean: 0.9 pistons

Standard deviation: 0.944 pistons

Step-by-step explanation:

Either a piston is defective, or it is not. This means that for either piston, there can only be two outcomes. This means that we can solve this problem by the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and each trial can only have two outcomes, with probabilities \pi and 1 - \pi.

For an experiment with n repeated trials and a probability of success \pi, we have that:

The mean is: \mu_{x} = n*\pi

The standard deviation is: \sigma_{x} = \sqrt{n*\pi*(1-\pi)}

In this problem

There are 90 pistons, so n = 90.

There is a 1% probability that a piston is defective, so \pi = 0.01.

Estimate the number of pistons in the sample that are defective by giving the mean of the relevant distribution:

\mu_{x} = n*\pi = 90(0.01) = 0.9

Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution.

\sigma_{x} = \sqrt{n*\pi*(1-\pi)} = 0.944

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Dog Pogo will fetch the frisbee <u>12 times</u> in 4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of minutes required =2 minutes.

Number of times frisbee fetch by dog = 6 times

We need to find Number of times the dog can fetch the frisbee in 4 minutes.

First we will find number of frisbee fetch in minute.

In 2 minutes = 6 times frisbee fetched by the dog

so in 1 minute = Number of times frisbee fetched by the dog in 1 minute.

By using Using Unitary method we get;

Number of times frisbee fetched by the dog in 1 minute = \frac{6}{2} =3

Hence in 1 minutes the dog can fetch frisbee 3 times.

for 1 min = 3 times frisbee is been fetched by dog

So for 4 minutes = Number of times frisbee is been fetched by dog in 4 min.

Again by using Unitary Method we get;

Number of times frisbee is been fetched by dog in 4 min = 3\times4 = 12

Hence Dog Pogo will fetch the frisbee <u>12 times</u> in 4 minutes.
