a. \(b(3;8,.35)\)

b. \(b(5;8,.6)\)

Short Answer

The following binomial probabilities directly from the formula for $b(x ; n, p)$ are:

a) \(b(3;8,0.35) = 0.2786\).

b) \(b(5;8,0.6) = 0.2787\).

c) \(P(3 \le X \le 5) = 0.7451\).

d) \(P(1 \le X) = 0.6126\).

Step by step solution

01

Definition of binomial properties

The binomial distribution is a probability distribution that represents the chance of a value taking one of two independent values.

02

Step 2: Compute the binomial probabilities given in a)

a)
Following is a theorem we are using :

\(b(x;n,p) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}n\\x\end{array}} \right){p^x}{{(1 - p)}^{n - x}}}&{,x = 0,1,2, \ldots ,n}\\0&{\rm{ }}\end{array}} \right.\)

(a):

Using the theorem given above, for\(n = 8,x = 3\), and\(p = 0.35\), the following is true

\(\begin{aligned}b(3;8,0.35) &= \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}8\\3\end{array}} \right){0.35^3}{(1 - 0.35)^{8 - 3}}\\ &= \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}8\\3\end{array}} \right){0.35^3} \cdot {0.65^5}\\ &= 0.2786.\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the required binomial property is \(0.2786\).

03

Step 3: Compute the binomial probabilities given in b)

Using the theorem given above, for\(n = 8,x = 5\), and\(p = 0.6\), the following is true

\(\begin{aligned}b(5;8,0.6) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}8\\5\end{array}} \right){0.6^5}{(1 - 0.6)^{8 - 5}}\\&= \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}8\\5\end{array}} \right){0.6^5} \cdot {0.4^3}\\ &= 0.2787.\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the required binomial property is \(0.2787\).

04

Step 4: Compute the binomial probabilities given in c)

c)
For \(n = 7\), and \(p = 0.6\), the following is true

\(\begin{aligned}P(3 \le X \le 5)\mathop = \limits^{(1)} b(3;7,0.6) + b(4;7,0.6) + b(5;7,0.6)\\ &= \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}7\\3\end{array}} \right){0.6^3}{(1 - 0.6)^{7 - 3}}\\ &+ \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}7\\4\end{array}} \right){0.6^4}{(1 - 0.6)^{7 - 4}}\\ &+ \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}7\\5\end{array}} \right){0.6^5}{(1 - 0.6)^{7 - 5}}\\ &= 0.1935 + 0.2903 + 0.2613\\ &= 0.7451\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, from 3 to 5 , binomial random variable X can take only values 3,4,5.

05

Step 5: Compute the binomial probabilities given in d)

d)

For\(n = 9\), and\(p = 0.1\), the following is true

\(\begin{aligned}P(1 \le X)\mathop = \limits^{(1)} 1 - P(X = 0)\\ &= 1 - \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}9\\0\end{array}} \right){0.1^3}{(1 - 0.1)^{9 - 0}}\\ &= 1 - 0.3874\\ &=0.6126\end{aligned}\)
Therefore, the complement of event\(\{ 1 \le X\} \)is\(\{ X = 0\} \).

A manufacturer of integrated circuit chips wishes to control the quality of its product by rejecting any batch in which the proportion of defective chips is too high. To this end, out of each batch (10,000 chips), 25 will be selected and tested. If at least 5 of these 25 are defective, the entire batch will be rejected.

a. What is the probability that a batch will be rejected if 5% of the chips in the batch are in fact defective?

b. Answer the question posed in (a) if the percentage of defective chips in the batch is \({\bf{10}}\% \).

c. Answer the question posed in (a) if the percentage of defective chips in the batch is \({\bf{20}}\% \).

d. What happens to the probabilities in (a)–(c) if the critical rejection number is increased from 5 to \({\bf{6}}\)?

A particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. Suppose that 25% of the incoming calls involve fax messages, and consider a sample of 25 incoming calls. What is the probability that

a. At most 6 of the calls involve a fax message?

b. Exactly 6 of the calls involve a fax message?

c. At least 6 of the calls involve a fax message?

d. More than 6 of the calls involve a fax message?

A newsstand has ordered five copies of a certain issue of a photography magazine. Let \({\rm{X = }}\)the number of individuals who come in to purchase this magazine. If \({\rm{X}}\) has a Poisson distribution with parameter \({\rm{\mu = 4}}\), what is the expected number of copies that are sold?

An instructor who taught two sections of engineering statistics last term, the first with\({\rm{20}}\)students and the second with\({\rm{30}}\), decided to assign a term project. After all projects had been turned in, the instructor randomly ordered them before grading. Consider the first\({\rm{15}}\)graded projects. a. What is the probability that exactly\({\rm{10}}\)of these are from the second section? b. What is the probability that at least\({\rm{10}}\)of these are from the second section? c. What is the probability that at least\({\rm{10}}\)of these are from the same section? d. What are the mean value and standard deviation of the number among these\({\rm{15}}\)that are from the second section? e. What are the mean value and standard deviation of the number of projects not among these first\({\rm{15}}\)that are from the second section?

The article 'should You Report That Fender Bender?" (Consumer Reports, Sept. 2013: 15) reported that 7 in 10 auto accidents involve a single vehicle (the article recommended always reporting to the insurance company an accident involving multiple vehicles). Suppose 15 accidents are randomly selected. Use Appendix Table A.l to answer each of the following questions.

a. What is the probability that at most 4 involve a single vehicle?

b. What is the probability that exactly 4 involve a single vehicle?

c. What is the probability that exactly 6 involve multiple vehicles?

d. What is the probability that between 2 and 4 , inclusive, involve a single vehicle?

e. What is the probability that at least 2 involve a single vehicle?
