Refer to the Trowbridge Manufacturing example in Problem 2-35. The quality control inspection proce- dure is to select 6 items,

and if there are 0 or 1 de- fective cases in the group of 6, the process is said to be in control. If the number of defects is more than 1, the process is out of control. Suppose that the true proportion of defective items is 0.15. What is the probability that there will be 0 or 1 defects in a sam- ple of 6 if the true proportion of defects is 0.15

Answer:

77.64% probability that there will be 0 or 1 defects in a sample of 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each item, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of an item being defective is independent of other items. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The true proportion of defects is 0.15

This means that p = 0.15

Sample of 6:

This means that n = 6

What is the probability that there will be 0 or 1 defects in a sample of 6?

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.15)^{0}.(0.85)^{6} = 0.3771

P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.15)^{1}.(0.85)^{5} = 0.3993

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.3771 + 0.3993 = 0.7764

77.64% probability that there will be 0 or 1 defects in a sample of 6.

That is about right... 2,514 X 2 = 5,028 so he is about 1,000 off. I will leave the rest to you.

The number of members over time in an online music sharing club can be modeled by an exponential function. the club started with
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

a.) N(x) =  N_{0} e^{bx}

b.) therefore b = \ln \frac{2142}{2100}  =  \ln (1.02) = 0.0198

    b is the rate of increase of number of members

c.) The club will not be able to get more than 5000 members during its first year.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the club started with 2100 members.

  so we can write N_{0} = 2100.

a.) so we can write the equation as an exponential function given by

  N(x) =  N_{0} e^{bx} where x is in months and b is a constant and N(x) is the number of members in the online music sharing club .

 therefore 2142 = 2100 \times (e^{b\times 1}) = 2100e^{b}

b.) therefore b = \ln \frac{2142}{2100}  =  \ln (1.02) = 0.0198

    b is the rate of increase of number of members

c.) Will the club have more than 5000 members during its first year? Justify your reasoning.

      5000 = 2100e^{0.0198x}

 therefore x  = \frac{1}{0.0198} \ln{(\frac{5000}{2100} )}  =  43.81 \hspace{0.1cm}months

The club will not be able to get more than 5000 members during its first year.

professor wrote the following inequalities for N number of students in his lecture. N <10, N>10, N<22, N>22. Turns o
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

There are N students in the class.

We know that ONLY ONE of the inequalities is true:

N < 10

N > 10

N < 22

N > 22

We want only one of these four inequalities to be true.

Remember that if we have:

x > y

y is not a solution, because:

y > y is false.

Then:

If we take N = 10, then:

N < 22

Is the only true option.

While if we take N = 22

N > 10

is the only true option.

So there are two possible values of N.
