A company purchases shipments of machine components and uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 20 componen

ts and accept the whole batch if there are fewer than 3 defectives. If a particular shipment of thousands of components actually has a 8% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Round to three decimal places.

Answer: Probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is 0.629

Step-by-step explanation:

The company randomly select and test 20 components and accept the whole batch if there are fewer than 3 defectives.

Applying normal distribution,

z = (x-u)/s

Where

n = number of components that were tested.

s = standard deviation

u = mean = np

p = probability that the component has defect

q = probability that the component does not have defect

x = r = the number of components

From the information given,

p = 8/100 = 0.08

q = 1-q = 1-0.08 = 0.92

n = 20

u = 20×0.08 = 1.6

s = √20 × 0.08 × 0.92 = √1.472

s = 1.21

Probability that this whole shipment will be accepted will be probability that fewer than 3 components have defects. This means that it must be lesser than or equal to 2 components.

P(x lesser than 3) =P(x lesser than or equal to 2). Therefore,

x = 2

z = (2-1.6)/1.21 = 0.33

Looking at the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.629

Mercedes would like to have an average of 88 in her math class. There are five assignments with the following grades : 85, 100,
vredina [299]

Answer: 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average, add all the grades and divide by the number of grades

sum of all grades/number of grades

85 + 100 + 88 + 80 + 95 + x/6

She wants to have an 88, so we can set the expression above equal to 88

448 + x/6= 88

Multiply by 6 on both sides

448 + x = 528

Subtract 448 on both sides

x=80

She needs to score at least an 80 to get an 88 average.

Hope this helped!
