1. A factory manufactures machines. Each machine is defective with probability 1/100, independently.

The machines get numbered 1, 2, . . . as they’re produced
(a) Out of machines 1, . . . , 1000, what is the probability that none are defective?
(b) Out of machines 1, . . . , 1000, what is the probability that two or fewer are defective? (c) Out of machines 1, . . . , 1000, what is the probability that exactly ten are defective? (d) What is the probability that the first defective machine is number 17?
(e) What is the probability the first defective machine is numbered 18 or higher?

Solutions

Expert Solution

1)

a)

Let X denote the number of defectives in the set. Then

Required probability =

b)

Let X denote the number of defectives in the set. Then

Required probability =

c)

Let X denote the number of defectives in the set. Then

Required probability =

d)

Required probability = P(first 16 are non-defective and 17th is defective)

=

e)

Required probability = P(first defective is numbered 18 or higher)

= P(18th is the first defective) + P(19th is the first defective) + P(20th is the first defective) + ....+P(1000th is the first defective)

Simulation with Arena Five identical machines operate independently in a small shop. Each machine is up (that is, works) for between 7 and 10 hours (uniformly distributed) and then breaks down. There are two repair technicians available, and it takes one technician between 1 and 4 hours (uniformly distributed) to fi x a machine; only one technician can be assigned to work on a broken machine even if the other technician is idle. If more than two machines are broken...

A factory tests all its products. The proportion of defective items is 0.02. The probability that the test will catch a defective product is 0.95.

A random sample of 350 bolts from machine A contained 35 defective bolts, while an independently chosen, random sample of 250 bolts from machine B contained 17 defective bolts. Let P1 be the proportion of the population of all bolts from machine A that are defective, and let P2 be the proportion of the population of all bolts from machine B that are defective. Find a 99% confidence interval for P1-P2. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations...

A company has three machines. On any day, each working machine breaks down with probability 0.4, independent of other machines. At the end of each day, the machines that have broken down are sent to a repairman who can work on only one machine at a time. When the repairman has one or more machines to repair at the beginning of a day, he repairs and returns exactly one at the end of that day. Let Xn be the number...
