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.

Probability from a Sample Space. In Exercises 33鈥36, use the given sample space or construct the required sample space to find the indicated probability.

Three Children Use this sample space listing the eight simple events that are possible when a couple has three children (as in Example 2 on page 135): {bbb, bbg, bgb, bgg, gbb, gbg, ggb, ggg}. Assume that boys and girls are equally likely, so that the eight simple events are equally likely. Find the probability that when a couple has three children, there is exactly one girl.

In Exercises 25鈥32, find the probability and answer the questions. XSORT Gender Selection MicroSort鈥檚 XSORT gender selection technique was designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl. At one point before clinical trials of the XSORT gender selection technique were discontinued, 945 births consisted of 879 baby girls and 66 baby boys (based on data from the Genetics & IVF Institute). Based on these results, what is the probability of a girl born to a couple using MicroSort鈥檚 XSORT method? Does it appear that the technique is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a girl?

Oregon Pick 4 In the Oregon Pick 4 lottery game, a bettor selects four numbers between 0 and 9 and any selected number can be used more than once. Winning the top prize requires that the selected numbers match those and are drawn in the same order. Do calculations for this lottery involve the combinations rule or either of the two permutation rules presented in this section? Why or why not? If not, what rule does apply?

New Jersey Lottery Let A denote the event of placing a $1 straight bet on the New Jersey Pick 3 lottery and winning. There are 1000 different ways that you can select the three digits (with repetition allowed) in this lottery, and only one of those three-digit numbers will be the winner. What is the value of? What is the value ofPA?

Odds. In Exercises 41鈥44, answer the given questions that involve odds.

Kentucky Pick 4 In the Kentucky Pick 4 lottery, you can place a 鈥渟traight鈥 bet of \(1 by selecting the exact order of four digits between 0 and 9 inclusive (with repetition allowed), so the probability of winning is 1/10,000. If the same four numbers are drawn in the same order, you collect \)5000, so your net profit is $4999.

a. Find the actual odds against winning.

b. Find the payoff odds.

c. The website www.kylottery.com indicates odds of 1:10,000 for this bet. Is that description accurate?
