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.

Vinil7 [7]

The total cost that will be paid by the family will be RM(15x - y).

<h3>How to calculate the cost?</h3>

The entrance fee to a circus for a child is RM(3x-y).

The entrance fee for an adult is RM(3x - y) + RM2y = 3x + y.

Therefore, the cost for 2 adults and three children will be:

= 2(3x + y) + 3(3x - y)

= 6x + 2y + 9x- 3y

= 15x - y
