The manufacturer of an electronic device claims that the probability of the device failing during the warranty period is 0.005.

If 3000 of these devices are sold, the probability that at least 15 of them fail during the warranty period is closest to :_________

Answer:

The  value is  P(X \ge  15) =  0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The probability of the device failing during the warranty period is p =  0.005

    The  sample size is  n = 3000

     The random variable  considered is  x  =  15

Generally this is distribution is binomial given the fact that there is only two out comes hence

      X  which is a variable representing a randomly selected selected electronic follows a binomial distribution i.e

     X  \~ \  B(n , p)

Now the mean is mathematically evaluated as

      \mu  =  n *  p

=>   \mu  = 3000 *  0.005

=>    \mu  =15

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{np(1 -p )}

=>  \sigma  =  \sqrt{3000 *  0.005 * (1 - 0.005 )}

=>   \sigma  =  3.86

Now given that n is very large, then it mean that we can successfully apply normal approximation on this  binomial distribution

So

    P(X \ge  15) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  \ge \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } )

Now  applying  Continuity Correction we have

   P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  > \frac{(15 -0.5) - 15}{3.86 } )

Generally  \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }   =  Z (The \ standardized \ value  \ of  \ X)

    P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P(Z >-0.130 )

From the z-table  

       P(Z >-0.130 )  =0.5

Thus  

    P(X \ge  15) =  0.5

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

A. y = 1.5m + 7

B. at 7 months the baby will weigh 17.5 pounds

C. Since the baby is born weighing 7 pounds, at 0 months he will weigh 7 pounds. This tells us that the y-intercept will be seven. And since the baby is gaining 1.5 pounds every month, this means that the slope will be 1.5 and m will be the x of our y = mx + b equation. For part B, we simply plug in 7 to m and solve by multiplying 1.5 and 7 to get 10.5, then adding 7 to get 17.5.
