When circuit boards used in the manufacture of compact disc players are tested, the long-run percentage of defectives is\({\rm{5\% }}\). Suppose that a batch of \({\rm{250}}\) boards has been received and that the condition of any particular board is independent of that of any other board.

a. What is the approximate probability that at least \({\rm{10\% }}\) of the boards in the batch are defective?

b. What is the approximate probability that there are exactly \({\rm{10}}\) defectives in the batch?

Short Answer

(a) The approximate probability is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.0003}}\).

(b) The approximate probability is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.0888}}\).

Step by step solution

Definition

Probability simply refers to the likelihood of something occurring. We may talk about the probabilities of particular outcomes鈥攈ow likely they are鈥攚hen we're unclear about the result of an event. Statistics is the study of occurrences guided by probability

02

Given in question

It is given that \({\rm{X}}\) denotes the number of defective circuit boards among the batch of \({\rm{250}}\) boards. Since after disc players are tested, the long-run percentage of defectives is\({\rm{5\% }}\). Then we can say that \({\rm{X}}\) have a binomial distribution with parameters:

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{n = 250}}\\{\rm{p = 0}}{\rm{.05}}\end{array}\)

Now we check the following products:

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{np = 250(0}}{\rm{.05) = 12}}{\rm{.5}}\\{\rm{nq = 250(1 - 0}}{\rm{.05) = 237}}{\rm{.5}}\end{array}\)

Since: and

Hence, we can use the normal approximation. Then mean and standard deviation of \({\rm{X}}\)are given as:

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{\mu = n \times p = 250(0}}{\rm{.05) = 12}}{\rm{.5}}\\{\rm{\sigma = }}\sqrt {{\rm{n \times p \times (1 - p)}}} {\rm{ = 3}}{\rm{.446}}\end{array}\)

Hence, we can say that \({\rm{X}}\) is approximately distributed as \({\rm{N(12}}{\rm{.5,3}}{\rm{.446)}}\)

03

Calculating the approximate probability

(a) Since \({\rm{10\% }}\) of \({\rm{250}}\) is\({\rm{25}}\), Hence the approximate probability that at least \({\rm{10\% }}\) of the boards in the batch are defective can be represented as. Continuity condition and standardizing gives:

\({{\text{X}}_{{\text{normal }}}}{\text{24}}{\text{.5}}\)

if and only if

\(\frac{{{X_{normal{\text{ }}}} - 12.5}}{{3.446}}\frac{{24.5 - 12.5}}{{3.446}}\frac{{{X_{normal{\text{ }}}} - 12.5}}{{3.446}}\frac{{12}}{{3.48}}Z3.48\)

Thus

\(\begin{aligned}P\left( {{X_{bin}}25} \right) &= P(Z3.48) \\&= 1 - f(3.48) \\&= 1 - 0.9997P\left( {{X_{bin}}25} \right) \\&= 0.0003 \\\end{aligned} \)

Proposition: Let \({\rm{Z}}\) be a continuous rv with cdf. Then for any \({\rm{a}}\) and \({\rm{b}}\) with\({\rm{a > b}}\),

\(\begin{aligned}P(b拢Z拢a) &= f(a) - f(b) \hfill \\P(Z拢a) &= f(a) \hfill \\\end{aligned} \)

Calculating the approximate probability 

(b) The approximate probability that there are exactly \({\rm{10}}\) defectives in the batch can be represented as \({\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}_{{\rm{bin }}}}{\rm{ = 10}}} \right)\)

Using continuity correlation, it becomes:

\(P\left( {{X_{bin{\text{ }}}} = 10} \right) = P\left( {9.5拢{X_{normal}}拢10.5} \right)\)

Standardizing gives:

袄(9.5拢齿拢10.5袄)

if and only if

\(\frac{{9.5 - 12.5}}{{3.446}}拢\frac{{X - 12.5}}{{3.446}}拢\frac{{10.5 - 12.5}}{{3.446}}\frac{{ - 3}}{{3.446}}拢\frac{{X - 12.5}}{{3.446}}拢\frac{{ - 2}}{{3.446}} - 0.87拢Z拢- 0.58\)

Thus

\(\begin{aligned}P\left( {{X_{bin{\text{ }}}} = 10} \right) &= P( - 0.87拢Z拢 - 0.58) \\&= f( - 0.58) - f( - 0.87) \\&= 0.2810 - 0.1922P\left( {{X_{bin{\text{ }}}} = 10} \right) \\&= 0.0888 \\\end{aligned} \)

Let\({\bf{X}}\)denote the data transfer time (ms) in a grid computing system (the time required for data transfer between a 鈥渨orker鈥 computer and a 鈥渕aster鈥 computer. Suppose that X has a gamma distribution with mean value\({\bf{37}}.{\bf{5}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{ms}}\)and standard deviation\({\bf{21}}.{\bf{6}}\)(suggested by the article 鈥淐omputation Time of Grid Computing with Data Transfer Times that Follow a Gamma Distribution,鈥 Proceedings of the First International Conference on Semantics, Knowledge, and Grid, 2005).

a. What are the values of\({\rm{\alpha }}\)and\({\rm{\beta }}\)?

b. What is the probability that data transfer time exceeds\({\bf{50}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{ms}}\)?

c. What is the probability that data transfer time is between\({\bf{50}}\)and\({\bf{75}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{ms}}\)?

Chebyshev鈥檚 inequality, (see Exercise \({\bf{44}}\) Chapter \({\bf{3}}\)), is valid for continuous as well as discrete distributions. It states that for any number k satisfying \(k \ge 1,P(|X - \mu | \ge k\sigma ) \le 1/{k^2}\) (see Exercise \({\bf{44}}\) in Chapter \({\bf{3}}\) for an interpretation). Obtain this probability in the case of a normal distribution for \({\rm{k = 1,2}}\)and 3 , and compare to the upper bound.

Find the following percentiles for the standard normal distribution. Interpolate where appropriate.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{{\rm{a}}{\rm{. 91st}}}\\\begin{array}{l}{\rm{b}}{\rm{. 9th }}\\{\rm{c}}{\rm{. 75th }}\\{\rm{d}}{\rm{. 25th }}\\{\rm{e}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{6}}^{{\rm{th}}}}\end{array}\end{array}\)

If the temperature at which a certain compound melts is a random variable with mean value \({\rm{12}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\) and standard deviation \({{\rm{2}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\), what are the mean temperature and standard deviation measured in \(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{F}}\)? (Hint: \(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{F = 1}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{8}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C + 32}}{\rm{.}}\))

A consumer is trying to decide between two long-distance calling plans. The first one charges a flat rate of \({\rm{10}}\) per minute, whereas the second charges a flat rate of \({\rm{99}}\) for calls up to \({\rm{20}}\) minutes in duration and then \({\rm{10\% }}\)for each additional minute exceeding \({\rm{20}}\)(assume that calls lasting a non-integer number of minutes are charged proportionately to a whole-minute's charge). Suppose the consumer's distribution of call duration is exponential with parameter\({\rm{\lambda }}\).

a. Explain intuitively how the choice of calling plan should depend on what the expected call duration is.

b. Which plan is better if expected call duration is \({\rm{10}}\) minutes? \({\rm{15}}\)minutes? (Hint: Let \({{\rm{h}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{(x)}}\) denote the cost for the first plan when call duration is \({\rm{x}}\) minutes and let \({{\rm{h}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{(x)}}\)be the cost function for the second plan. Give expressions for these two cost functions, and then determine the expected cost for each plan.)
