Answer:
a) 0.1558 = 15.58% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars.
b) 0.1557 = 15.57% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars. These probabilities are very close, which means that the approximation works.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial distribution:
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given interval.
To use the Poisson approximation for the binomial, we have that:
1 in every 2500 automobiles produced has a particular manufacturing defect.
This means that
a) Use a binomial distribution to find the probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars.
This is when
. So
0.1558 = 15.58% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars.
(b) The Poisson distribution can be used to approximate the binomial distribution for large values of n and small values of p.
Using the approximation:
. So
0.1557 = 15.57% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars. These probabilities are very close, which means that the approximation works.
say we're going to add "x" gallons of water, now how many gallons of alcohol is in pure water? well 0%, and 0% of "x" is (0/100) * x = 0.
the 3 gallons we know are 100% alcohol, how many gallons of alcohol is in it? well (100/100) * 3 = 3.
the resulting mix will have x + 3 gallons total and it's going to be 15% alcohol, how many gallons of alcohol is that? (15/100) * (x+3).
now, the amount of alcohol never increased, so the original 3 gallons of only alcohol will remain even after the water has been added, so.
