Probability of At Least One Let A = the event of getting at least 1 defective iPhone when 3 iPhones are randomly selected with replacement from a batch. If 5% of the iPhones in a batch are defective and the other 95% are all good, which of the following are correct?

a. = (0.95)(0.95)(0.95) = 0.857

b. P(A) = 1 - (0.95)(0.95)(0.95) = 0.143

c. P(A) = (0.05)(0.05)(0.05) = 0.000125

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. is correct.

b. is correct.

c. is incorrect.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Three iPhones are selected at random. A is the event of selecting at least one defective iPhone.

The selection is made with a replacement from the batch.

The chances of selecting a defective iPhone are 5%, the rest 95% being good.

02

Define probability 

If A is the probability of selecting at least n out of N units of a given kind, then it has the following probability:

Patleastnareof akind=Pnareofakind+Pn+1areofakind+....+PNareofakind

03

Complementary events

A and Aare said to be complementary when the outcomes of one event do not support the other occurrence of the other event.

That is,

PA+PA=1

04

Compute the probability event A and its complement

A is the event of selecting at least one defective iPhone.

The probability of selecting a defective iPhone is:

Pdefective=5100=0.05

The probability of selecting a good iPhone is:

Pgood=95100=0.95

a.

The probability of selecting no defective iPhone is given as:

PA=0.950.950.95=0.857

The probability of Ais the probability that none are defective, or all are good.

Thus, the given probability represents selecting a good iPhone in each of the three selections.

Therefore, option a. is correct

b.

It is known that

PA+PA=1PA=1-PAPA=1-0.950.950.95PA=0.143

Therefore, option b. is correct.

c.

PAis the probability of choosing one or two or all three defective iPhones, which is computed as 0.143.

The given probability only depicts the case of choosing all three defective iPhones but not the cases of:

  • Choosing one defective iPhone
  • Choosing two defective iPhones

Therefore, option c. is incorrect.

Births in China In China, where many couples were allowed to have only one child, the probability of a baby being a boy was 0.545. Among six randomly selected births in China, what is the probability that at least one of them is a girl? Could this system continue to work indefinitely? (Phasing out of this policy was begun in 2015.)

In Exercises 21鈥24, use these results from the 鈥1-Panel-THC鈥 test for marijuana use, which is provided by the company Drug Test Success: Among 143 subjects with positive test results, there are 24 false positive results; among 157 negative results, there are 3 false negative results. (Hint: Construct a table similar to Table 4-1, which is included with the Chapter Problem.)

Testing for Marijuana: Use If one of the test subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the subject did not use marijuana. Do you think that the result reflects the general population rate of subjects who do not use marijuana?

Births in the United States In the United States, the true probability of a baby being a boy is 0.512 (based on the data available at this writing). Among the next six randomly selected births in the United States, what is the probability that at least one of them is a girl?

Exclusive Or The exclusive or means either one or the other events occurs, but not both.
