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?
Solutions
Expert Solution
a.
b.
c.
As in b part we use Poisson approximation.
Both probabilities are approximately same.

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 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.

Suppose the time interval between two consecutive defective
light bulbs from a production line has a uniform distribution over
an interval from 0 to 90 minutes. what is the probability that the
time interval between two consecutive defective light bulbs will be
at least 50 minutes?

(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...

Exercise 1: Defective Light Bulbs
This is a Statistic subject.
The data set lists the number of defective 60-watt light bulbs
found in samples of 100 bulbs selected over 25 days from a
manufacturing process. Assume that during these 25 days, the
manufacturing process was not producing an excessively large
fraction of defectives.
1.Plot a p chart to monitor the manufacturing process. What do
you conclude? Is the process out of control?
2. How large must the fraction of defective...

Assume that light bulbs bought at a supermarket have a
probability 1/3 of being defective.
1）If you buy 10 light bulbs, what is the probability that 3 are
defective?
2）If you buy one light bulb per day, what is the probability
that the first defective one is on day three?
3）If you buy one light bulb per day, and the one bought on day one
was defective, what is the probability that the next defective one
is on day 5?

Among the computer chips produced at a computer facility, 2% are
mildly defective and an additional 3% are highly defective. The
remaining chips are OK. Different chips are independent in terms of
status. If a chips is mildly defective, it costs $20 to repair it
to proper condition. For highly defective chips, the cost is $60.
There is no repair cost for OK chips. Suppose that 40 chips
produced at this facility are examined for defects: 1. What is the...

The average life of light bulbs produced by SABA Electric Co. is
expected to be normally distributed with the mean service life of
950 hours and standard deviation of 100 hours. A random sample of
100 bulbs is tested and it has a mean life of 910 hours. Can
researcher conclude that the mean service life of the bulbs is less
than the expectation? H0 is null hypothesis, and Ha is alternative
hypothesis.
Which one of the following is a...
