Suppose that the proportion θ of defective items in a large shipment is unknown, and that the prior distribution of θ is a beta distribution for which the parameters are α = 2 and β = 200. If 100 items are selected at random from the shipment and if three of these items are found to be defective, what is the posterior distribution of θ?

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?

A certain large shipment comes with a guarantee that it contains no more than 25% defective items. If the proportion of items in the shipment is greater than 25%, the shipment may be returned. You draw a random sample of 12 items and test each one to determine whether it is defective. a. If in fact 25% of the items in the shipment are defective (so that the shipment is good, but just barely) what is the probability that 7...

A certain large shipment comes with a guarantee that it contains no more than 20% defective items. If the proportion of items in the shipment is greater than 20%, the shipment may be returned. You draw a random sample of 10 items and test each one to determine whether it is defective. Assume X P(X) P ( X = 0) = C (10,0) * 0.2^0 * ( 1 - 0.2)^10= 0 0.1074 P ( X = 1) = C (10,1)...

9. Suppose that DVDs in a certain shipment are defective with a Beta distribution with α = 2 and β = 5. Use R to compute the probability that the shipment has: a) 20% to 30% defective DVDs. b) Less than 10% defective DVDs. c) More than 25% defectives. d) Set up the integral to find the probability that there is between 10% and 40% defectives. Then find the answer with R.

A manufacturer wants to estimate the proportion of defective items in production. However, 18 of the 8,000 items in a random sample were found to be defective. (a) Establish a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of defective items. (b) If a confidence interval for the proportion of non-defective items had been constructed from of the same data, would you have gotten a larger margin of error? (c) A proportion of defective items of 3/1000 is considered acceptable. Are we...

An inspector inspects large truckloads of potatoes to determine the proportion p in the shipment with major defects prior to using the potatoes to make potato chips. Unless there is clear evidence that this proportion, p, is less than 0.10, he will reject the shipment. He will test the hypotheses H 0 : p = 0.10 , H a : p < 0.10 . He selects an SRS of 100 potatoes from the over 2000 potatoes on the truck. Suppose...
