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

The Animal World Safari Park is a rectangular piece of land with an area of 323 square miles. The length of the park is 17 miles
Charra [1.4K]
The area of a rectangle is A = L * W.  We have the area as 323 and the length as 17.  Filling in our formula for area then, 323 = 17W.  Divide both sides by 17 to solve for the width.  W = 19

Write a real-world problem that is solved by an equation and then solve (show work).
ololo11 [35]
A company is selling books. It has to pay $500 to start printing the books, and once they have done that, the books sell at $14.99 each. How many books must they sell to make a profit?

First we would model an equation. X will be the amount of books sold, and Y will be profits (in dollars obv). They had to pay $500 before they could start selling, so we must account for that too.

This equation would be y=14.99x-500 because for every book sold, X increases by 1, increasing Y by 14.99

The answer would be 34 books sold in order to turn a profit. (500/14.99=
