Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Ten rugby balls are randomly selected from the production line to see if their shape is correct. Over time, the company has found that 89.4% of all their rugby balls have the correct shape. If exactly 6 of the 10 have the right shape, should the company stop the production line?

1)Yes as the probability of six having the correct shape is not unusual

2)NO. as the probability of six having the correct shape is unusual

3)Yes as the probability of six having the correct shape is unusual

4) No. as the probability of six having the correct shape is not unusual

Solution:

If exactly 6 of the 10 have the right shape, it means that the probability of success for the sample is

6/10 = 0.6

Expressing the probability in terms if percentage, it becomes

0.6 × 100 = 60%

Over time, the company has found that 89.4% of all their rugby balls have the correct shape. It means that the probability of success for the population is 89.4%

Comparing both probabilities, the probability of only 6 having the right shape is unusual. Therefore, the correct option is

3)Yes as the probability of six having the correct shape is unusual
