Components of a certain type are shipped to a supplier in batches of ten. Suppose that 50% of all such batches contain no defect

ive components, 35% contain one defective component, and 15% contain two defective components. Two components from a batch are randomly selected and tested. What are the probabilities associated with 0, 1, and 2 defective components being in the batch under each of the following conditions?
a. Neither tested component is defective.
b. One of the two tested components is defective

Answer:

a) P (0 defective component) = 0.5

   P( 1 defective component ) = 0.35

    P( 2 defective component ) = 0.15

b) P( 0 ) = 0

   p ( 1 ) =  1

   p ( 2 ) = 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

p( no defective ) = 0.5

p( 1 is defective ) = 0.35

p( 2 is defective ) = 0.15

Given that 2 components are selected at random

<u>a) Given that neither component is defective </u>

Probability of 0 defective component = 0.5

P( 1 defective component ) = 0.35

P( 2 defective component ) = 0.15

<u>b) Given that one of the two tested component is defective </u>

P( 0 defective ) = 0

P( 1 defective ) = P ( \frac{x=1}{x\geq 1} ) = p( x = 1 ) / 1 - P ( x = 0 )

                                        = ( 0.5 )^1 ( 0.5 )^0 /  1 - ( 0.5)^0 (0.5)^1

                                        = 0.5 * 1 / 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 / 0.5 =  1

p ( 2 defective ) = p( x = 3 ) / 1 - P ( x = 0 )

                         = ( 0.5 )^2 ( 0.5 )^0 /  1 - ( 0.5)^0 (0.5)^2

                         = 0.25 / 0.75 = 0.33

Read the following excerpts from the New York Times (December 17, 1996) article Chance of Heart Attack Increases for Those Who S
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

1. B

2. A

3. A

4. A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study claimed that subjects who suffer depression are more likely to have a heart attack than those who are not depressed.

1551 persons were interviewed as part of the experiment and classified according to their answers in two groups "suffered depression" and "didn't suffer depression"

Afterward, the researchers looked up the medical history of all 1551 subjects and recorded how many of them had heard issues.

1.

An observational study is one where the researcher only determines the variables he wants to study without controlling or influencing any factor of the population of interest. Because there is no interference from the researchers, there is a high risk that confounding factors may affect the conclusions of it. These studies are usually precursors to experimental tests, it allows the researcher to have an idea of the association between the two variables but you cannot establish causal relationships from them.

This is an example of an observational study, the researcher merely recorded the variables of interest without interfering with any aspects that may influence them. (For example diet or exercise habits of the subjects)

2. and 3.

The objective of the study is to determine if "depression" causes "disposition to heart attacks"

The explanatory variable is "depression status of the subject" since it is what is suspected to influence over the heart condition of said subject and "heart attack status" is the response variable.

4.

Of the 1551 subjects originally studied, 444 were classified as depressed, of these 27 had heard attacks. You can calculate the "proportion of subjects that suffered depression and had heart attacks" as:

p': 27/444= 0.06 ⇒ 6%

Since this value was obtained from the sample, it is an estimation of the population parameter, also called statistic.

I hope it helps!
