A quality control inspector has drawn a sample of 18 light bulbs from a recent production lot. If the number of defective bulbs

is 1 or more, the lot fails inspection. Suppose 30% of the bulbs in the lot are defective.

Answer:

0.0016 = 0.16% probability that the lot will pass inspection.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each bulb, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a bulb being defective is independent of any other bulb, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

Sample of 18 light bulbs

This means that n = 18

30% of the bulbs in the lot are defective.

This means that p = 0.3

What is the probability that the lot will pass inspection?

It will pass inspection if there are no defective bulbs, that is, we have to find P(X = 0). So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{18,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{18} = 0.0016

0.0016 = 0.16% probability that the lot will pass inspection.

Miss wilson has 32 students in her classroom, and all of them completed their reading assignments in january. each read 20 pages
Damm [24]
19,840 pages. You must multiply 20 pages by 31 days which gives you a product of 620 pages. This is the amount of pages each student reads in the month of January. Then, you must multiply 620 pages by 32 students and get a product of 19,840 pages in all.

Si la probabilidad de que un recién nacido sea niño es de 1 de dos opciones, representado en fracción 1/2, ¿Cuál es la probabili
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

1/2 o 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

debemos partir de la presuncion que un bebe puede ser niño o niña uinicamente, o sea la P(niño) + P(niña) = 1

no existen los bebes que son niños y niñas al mismo tiempo, eso quiere decir que es una opcion o la otra

P(niña) = 1 - P(niño) = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%

if you have 89 apples and you take 72 away and buy 14 more and take 12 away then buy 42 more and give them 16 more
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is that there will be 45 remaining apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you start off with 89 and then you take 72 away, that leaves you with 17 apples. Then, you buy 14 more which brings it up to 31. After that, you give 12 more away which brings your total down to 19. Next, you go out and buy 42 more, which adds up to  61 remaining apples. Finally, you give away 16 more, which brings you to a grand total of, 45 apples left.

Hope this helps!
