Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the mean of X is of 12, with a standard deviation of 3.36.
For each chip, there are only two possible outcomes, either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a chip being defective is independent of any other chip, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly <u>x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.</u>
The mean of the binomial distribution is:
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
In this problem:
- Six percent of computer chips produced by Cheapo Chips are defective, hence
.
- Each month a random sample of 200 chips manufactured that month are taken, hence
Then:
The mean of X is of 12, with a standard deviation of 3.36.
