Question

A manufacturing company regularly conducts quality control checks at specified periods on the products it manufactures. Historically, the failure rate for LED light bulbs that the company manufactures is 3%. Suppose a random sample of 10 LED light bulbs is selected. What is the probability that

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that none of the LED light bulbs are​ defective is 0.7374.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

What is the probability that none of the LED light bulbs are​ defective?

Solution:

Let the random variable X represent the number of defective LED light bulbs.

The probability of a LED light bulb being defective is, P (X) = p = 0.03.

A random sample of n = 10 LED light bulbs is selected.

The event of a specific LED light bulb being defective is independent of the other bulbs.

The random variable X thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 10 and p = 0.03.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={10\choose x}(0.03)^{x}(1-0.03)^{10-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

Compute the probability that none of the LED light bulbs are​ defective as follows:

$P(X=0)={10\choose 0}(0.03)^{0}(1-0.03)^{10-0}$

                $=1\times 1\times 0.737424\\=0.737424\\\approx 0.7374$

Thus, the probability that none of the LED light bulbs are​ defective is 0.7374.
