A manufacturing process that produces electron tubes is known to have a 10% defective rate. Suppose a random sample of 15 tubes
is selected from the manufacturing process. a) Find the probability that no more than two defectives are found?
1 answer:
Answer:
Probability of obtaining no more than two defective tubes = 0.816
Step-by-step explanation:
The Probability of obtaining no more than two defective tubes in a randomly selected sample of 15 tubes is obtained using the binomial distribution formula: nCr × p^r × q^(n -r).
Where n is number of samples;
r is maximum number of defective tubes, r ≤ 2;
p is probability of defective tubes = 10% or 0.1
q is probability of non-defective tubes, q = 1 - p
