plzzzzzzz help if u know how to do this! anyone know how to do this? I need help and I'm giving 30 points

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: If you turn all of them into decimals (with 2 decimal places) then you cacn order them from least to greatest. With negatives, it is the other way.

A shipment of 50,000 transistors arrives at a manufacturing plant. The quality control engineer at the plant obtains a random sa

Aleks04 [339]

Step-by-step explanation:

remember, the number of possible combinations to pick m out of n elements is C(n, m) = n!/(m! × (n-m)!)

50,000 transistors.

4% are defective, that means 4/100 = 1/25 of the whole.

so, the probability for one picked transistor to be defective is 1/25.

and the probability for it to work properly is then 1-1/25 = 24/25.

now, 500 picks are done.

to accept the shipment, 9 or less of these 500 picks must be defective.

the probability is then the sum of the probabilities to get

0 defective = (24/25)⁵⁰⁰

1 defective = (24/25)⁴⁹⁹×1/25 × C(500, 1)

= 24⁴⁹⁹/25⁵⁰⁰ × 500

2 defective = (24/25)⁴⁹⁸×1/25² × C(500, 2)

= 24⁴⁹⁸/25⁵⁰⁰ × 250×499

3 defective = 24⁴⁹⁷/25⁵⁰⁰ × C(500, 3) =

= 24⁴⁹⁷/25⁵⁰⁰ × 250×499×166

...

9 defective = 24⁴⁹¹/25⁵⁰⁰ × C(500, 9) =

= 24⁴⁹¹/25⁵⁰⁰ × 500×499×498×497×496×495×494×493×492×491 /

9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2 =

= 24⁴⁹¹/25⁵⁰⁰ × 50×499×166×71×31×55×494×493×41×491

best to use Excel or another form of spreadsheet to calculate all this and add it all up :

the probability that the engineer will accept the shipment is

0.004376634...

which makes sense, when you think about it, because 10 defect units in the 500 is only 2%. and since the whole shipment contains 4% defect units, it is highly unlikely that the random sample of 500 will pick so overwhelmingly the good pieces.

is the acceptance policy good ?

that completely depends on the circumstances.

what was the requirement about max. faulty rate in the first place ? if it was 2%, then the engineer's approach is basically sound.

it then further depends what are the costs resulting from a faulty unit ? that depends again on when the defect is usually found (still in manufacturing, or already out there at the customer site, or somewhere in between) and how critical the product containing such transistors is. e.g. recalls for products are extremely costly, while simply sorting the bad transistors out during the manufacturing process can be rather cheap. if there is a reliable and quick process to do so.

so, depending on repair, outage and even penalty costs it might be even advisable to have a harder limit during the sample test.

in other words - it depends on experience and the found distribution/probability curve, standard deviation, costs involved and other factors to define the best criteria for the sample test.

In your own words, explain the Normal Distribution and provide a real world example.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The Normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with possible values all the reals. Some properties of this distribution are:

Is symmetrical and bell shaped no matter the parameters used. Usually if X is a random variable normally distributed we write this like that:

$X \sim N(\mu , \sigma)$

The two parameters are:

$\mu$ who represent the mean and is on the center of the distribution

$\sigma$ who represent the standard deviation

One particular case is the normal standard distribution denoted by:

$Z \sim N(0,1)$

Example: Usually this distribution is used to model almost all the practical things in the life one of the examples is when we can model the scores of a test. Usually the distribution for this variable is normally distributed and we can find quantiles and probabilities associated
