Answer:

The probability that at least 14 of the chips will be defective is 0.6664.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A manufacturing process produces semiconductor chips with a known failure rate of 5.4%. If a random sample of 300 chips is selected, approximate the probability that at least 14 will be defective. Use the normal approximation to the binomial with a correction for continuity .

Solution:

Let <em>X</em> = number of defective chips.

The probability that a chip is defective is, <em>p</em> = 0.054.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 300 chips is selected.

A chip is defective or not is independent of the other chips.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 300 and <em>p</em> = 0.054.

But the sample selected is too large.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of X if the following conditions are satisfied:

  1. np ≥ 10
  2. n(1 - p) ≥ 10

Check the conditions as follows:

 np=300\times 0.054=16.2>10\\n(1-p)=300\times (1-0.054)=283.8>10

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So,  X\sim N(\mu =16.2,\ \sigma^{2}=15.3252).

Compute the probability that at least 14 of the 300 chips will be defective as follows:

Use continuity correction:

P (X ≥ 14) = P (X > 14 + 0.50)

               = P (X > 14.50)

               =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{14.50-16.20}{\sqrt{15.3252}})

                =P(Z>-0.43)\\=P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that at least 14 of the chips will be defective is 0.6664.

three zebras are chilling in the desert. suddenly a lion attacks. each zebra is sitting on a corner of an equally length triangl
AnnyKZ [126]

Probability that no zebras collide is 0.25

The zebras are represented as z1, z2 and z3.

Z1 to B, Z2 to C, and Z3 to A come first = (\frac{1}{2})^3

Following that, z1 to C, z2 to A, and z3 to B = (\frac{1}{2})^3

Consequently, the likelihood of no collision is 2×1/8 = 0.25.

<h3>What are the types of probability distributions ?</h3>

Discrete and continuous probability distributions are the two main categories in which probability distributions fall. There are numerous varieties of probability distributions within each category.

  • The number of favorable outcomes of an event divided by the total number of possible outcomes of an event can be used to calculate the probability of an event.
  • The likelihood of a sure or certain event is one.
  • The likelihood of an impossibility is 0 (0).
  • Every event has a probability between 0 and 1.
