5. A shipment of 50 light bulbs contains 10 defective light bulbs. In order to test the quality of the shipment, a quality control engineer selects 5 light bulbs at random.

(a) How many different samples are possible?
(b) What is the probability the engineer will select exactly two defective light bulbs?

(c) The shipment will be rejected if at least one of the light bulbs in the sample is defective. What is the probability the sample will be rejected?

in part b and c. plz, using another way to solve it. except for binomial distribution.

Expert Solution

a) The total number of different samples possible here is computed as:
= Number of ways to select 5 light bulbs from 50 light bulbs

Therefore there are 2118760 different samples possible here.

b) The probability that the engineer will select exactly two defective light bulbs is computed here as:
= Number of ways to select 2 defective ones from 10 defective ones * Number of ways to select 3 non defective ones from remaining 40 light bulbs / Total ways to select 5 bulbs from 50 bulbs

Therefore 0.2098 is the required probability here.

c) The probability that the shipment is rejected is computed here as:

= 1 - Probability that none of the 5 selected ones are defected

= 1 - (Number of ways to select 5 bulbs from 40 non defective ones) / Total ways to select 5 bulbs from 50 bulbs

Therefore 0.6894 is the required probability here.

In a box of 12 light bulbs, it is known that 5 of them are defective. That is, 5 are defective and 7 function properly. We select 2 bulbs from the bag at random, without replacement. Find the probability they both function properly. Show work. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

(b) A light bulb manufacturer requires no more than 10% defective light bulbs if the manufacturing process is to be considered working. Assuming the manufacturing process is producing only 10% defectives, what is the probability that a sample of 20 randomly selected light bulbs will contain exactly 2 defective light bulbs? Suppose the reliability of the manufacturing process is unknown. In a random sample of 10 light bulbs 5 defectives are found. Based on this result, the manufacturer wants to...

A shipment contains 200 items of which 50 are defective. A sample of 16 items from the shipment is selected at random without replacement. We accept the shipment if at most 3 items in the sample are defective. (a) Write down (but do not evaluate) an exact formula for the probability of acceptance. (b) Use a Table to give the decimal value for the binomial approximation of the probability of acceptance. Show your work. (c) Suppose instead that the shipment contains 500 items of...

Suppose a shipment of 140 electronic components contains 4 defective components. To determine whether the shipment should be accepted, a quality control engineer randomly selects 4 of the components and test them. If 1 or more of the components is defective, the shipment is rejected. what is the probability that the shipment rejected?

Production records indicate that 1.6% of the light bulbs produced in a facility are defective. A random sample of 20 light bulbs was selected. a. Use the binomial distribution to determine the probability that fewer than three defective bulbs are found. b. Use the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution to determine the probability that fewer than three defective bulbs are found. c. How do these two probabilities compare?
