A gross of eggs contains 144 eggs. A particular gross is known to have 12 cracked eggs. An inspector randomly chooses 15 for inspection. She wants to know the probability that, among the 15, at most three are cracked. What is X, and what values does it take on?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that among 15, at most three are cracked is 0.9767.

X is the sample size of the number of cracked eggs on the values0,1,2,3,.....15.

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

We are given,

A gross of eggs contains 144 eggs.

A particular gross is known to have 12 cracked eggs.

An inspector randomly chooses 15 for inspection.

02

Content Explanation

Let X the number of cracked eggs among the 15eggs. The number of cracked egg are the group of interest and the sample size X takes on the value 0,1,2,3,.....,15.

Here X follows hypergeometric distribution with K=12cracked eggs in population N=44, where k=3success from the sample size n=15

The probability mass function of hypergeometric distribution is

P(X=k)=(Ckk)(Cn-kn-k)Cnn

Therefore, the required probability that, among the 15at most three are cracked is determined as:

P(X3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)=(C012)(C15-0144-12)C15144+(C112)(C15-1144-12)C15144+(C212)(C15-2144-12)C15144+(C312)(C15-3144-12)C15144=0.2525+0.3851+0.2492+0.0899=0.9767

Use the following information to answer the next six exercises: The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly select freshman from the study until you find one who replies 鈥測es.鈥 You are interested in the number of freshmen you must ask.

What is the probability that you will need to ask fewer than three freshmen?

The literacy rate for a nation measures the proportion of people age 15 and over who can read and write. The literacy rate for women in Afghanistan is 12%. Let X = the number of Afghani women you ask until one says that she is literate.

b. What is the probability that you ask five women before one says she is literate?

c. What is the probability that you must ask ten women?

d. Find the (i) mean and (ii) standard deviation of X.

An instructor feels that 15% of students get below a C on their final exam. She decides to look at final exams (selected randomly and replaced in the pile after reading) until she finds one that shows a grade below a C. We want to know the probability that the instructor will have to examine at least ten exams until she finds one with a grade below a C. What is the probability question stated mathematically?
