\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^{k-1}

The infinite geometric series is converges if |r| < 1.

We have r=1/6 < 1, therefore our infinite geometric series is converges.

The sum S of an infinite geometric series with |r| < 1 is given by the formula :

S=\dfrac{a_1}{1-r}

We have:

a_1=420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^{1-1}=420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^0=420\\\\r=\dfrac{1}{6}

substitute:

S=\dfrac{420}{1-\frac{1}{6}}=\dfrac{420}{\frac{5}{6}}=420\cdot\dfrac{6}{5}=84\cdot6=504

Answer: d. Converges, 504.

A sequence of Bernoulli trials consists of choosing components at random from a batch of components. A selected component is eit
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) 0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

b) 0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials composes the binomial distribution.

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 probability that a selected component is non-defective is 0.8

This means that p = 0.8

a) Three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

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

P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.8)^{3}.(0.2)^{4} = 0.0287

0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.

b) 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.

Now the order is important, so the we just multiply the probabilities.

8 non-defective, each with probability 0.8, and then a defective, with probability 0.2. So

p = (0.8)^8*0.2 = 0.0336

0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.
