A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 10% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as "seconds."

a. Among six randomly selected goblets, how likely is it that only one is a second?

b. Among six randomly selected goblets, what is the probability that at least two are seconds?

c. If goblets are examined one by one, what is the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The probability of given condition is \({0.1^1}{(1 - 0.1)^{6 - 1}} = 0.3543\).

b) The probability of given condition is \(\{ X \ge 2\} \) is event \(\{ X < 2\} \).

c) The probability of given condition is \(0.6561 + 0.26244 = 0.91854\)

Step by step solution

01

Definition of probability

Probability denotes the possibility of something happening. It's a field of mathematics that studies the probability of a random event occurring.

02

How likely is it that only one is a second

a)

Denote random variable X as

X=number of classified as "seconds".

There are six goblets, so n=6, and 10% have the flaws and are classified as "seconds", which makes \(p = 0.1\). Therefore, \(X\sim {\mathop{\rm Bin}\nolimits} (6,0.1)\).

Theorem:

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

The following is true

\(\begin{aligned}b(1;6,0.1) &= P(X = 1)\\ &= \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}6\\1\end{array}} \right){0.1^1}{(1 - 0.1)^{6 - 1}}\\ &= 0.3543\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the answer is \(0.3543\).

03

Step 3: What is the probability that at least two are seconds

b)

Cumulative Density Function cdf of binomial random variable X with parameters n and p is

\(\begin{aligned}B(x;n,p) &= P(X \le x)\\ &= \sum\limits_{y = 0}^x b (y;n,p),\;\;\;x = 0,1, \ldots ,n\end{aligned}\)

The probability is the following

\(\begin{aligned}P(X \ge 2)\mathop = \limits^{(1)} 1 - P\\(X < 2)\mathop = \limits^{(2)} 1 - P\\(X \le 1) = 1 - B\\(1;6,0.1) &= 1 - b\\(1;6,0.1) - b\\(0;6,0.1) &= 1 - 0.5313 - 0.3543\\& = 0.1143\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the complement of event \(\{ X \ge 2\} \) is event \(\{ X < 2\} \);

As a result, the events are the same because X can take only non negative values.

04

Step 4: What is the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds

c)

The event given can be represented as union of two disjoint event - either first four goblets does not have any flaws, or one of the first four does have a flaw is classified as second and fifth does not have a flaw.

The probability that first four goblets are without flaw is

\(\begin{array}{c}P(X = 0)\\\mathop = \limits^{(1)} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}4\\0\end{array}} \right){0.1^0}{(1 - 0.1)^{4 - 0}}\\ = 0.6561\end{array}\)

(1) : out of four goblets, we want all to have a flaw.

The probability of the second given event is

\(\begin{array}{l}{410.1^1}{(1 - 0.1)^{4 - 1}} \cdot \\0.9 = 0.26244\end{array}\)

where the part

\(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}4\\1\end{array}} \right){0.1^1}{(1 - 0.1)^{4 - 1}}\)

is the probability of selecting one goblet with a flaw out of four goblets and $0.9$ is the probability for fifth goblet to be good.

Therefore, probability of given event in the exercise is union of two disjoint events, its probability will be the sum of those two events, therefore, the probability of the event is \(0.6561 + 0.26244 = 0.91854\).
