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.

If CP =Rs. 9,000 and SP= Rs. 8,584 then Profit / loss amount is
Gemiola [76]

Answer: Loss = Rs. 416

Step-by-step explanation:

Since CP is more than SP, it is a loss.

Loss = CP - SP

Loss = 9000 - 8584

Loss = 416

A practice problem regarding quadrilateral
Vlad [161]
Okay, I’m pretty sire this is right.
A: (-1, 3)
B: (-3, 2)
C: (-8, 3)
D: (-4, 3)

To do this problem (I am not completely confident in this) I am pretty sure you flip the signs for both the x and y values due to the rotation of the shape 180°, then add 6 to the y value.

Please answer see the image
mash [69]

Answer:

<h2>67.7</h2><h2 />

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = semicircle (x2) + parallelogram side (x2)

                = 1/2 π 12 (x2) + 15 (x2)

               = 37.7 + 30

               = 67.7

Can someone please be nice enough and give me all the answer for these questions.
PSYCHO15rus [73]
1. 1/9 since you take all the "a"s in the words which is 2/18
2.2/9 same thing as above
3.18/18 since there is no "O" it's a trick question
4.3/9
5.5/6 since you don't count 6
6.1/2 and 1/2 coins are always 1/2 unless you flip twice
7.5/13
8.1/2 because 1,3,5 odd 2,4,6 even 
Hope that helps

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the given points. (5,-1) and (-5,2)
Lelu [443]

Answer:

y=-\frac{3}{10} x+\frac{1}{2} or -\frac{3}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

first use the y2-y1/x2-x1 formula then use y=mx+b after

plug in 2 for y2 and -1 for y1

plug in -5 for x2 and 5 for x1

\frac{2-(-1)}{-5-5}=

2+1=3

-5-5=-10

-\frac{3}{10} is ur slope

_____________________

this is the y=mx+b formula *extra info ig*

i usually use the first point for this but u can use watever point u want

plug in 5 for x

plug in -1 for y

and plug -3/10 for m

-1=-3/10(5)+b

-3/10*5=-3/2

-1=-3/2+b

add -3/2 on both sides

-1+3/2=1/2

1/2=b and b is ur y-intercept

y=-3/10x+1/2

hope this helps
