A shipment of 200 doses of an antibiotic has 7 defective doses.

    i) What is the probability that the 7th dose out of the shipment will be defective?

   ii) If 5 doses are removed from the shipment what is the probability that none are defective?

   iii) If 5 doses are removed from the shipment what is the probability one dose is defective?

A shipment contains 200 items of which 50 are defective. A sample of 16 items from the shipment is selected at random without replacement.
 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?

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?

In a shipment of 15 components of a particular computer model, 5 components are defective. For exercises 1 & 2, let X be the number of defective components discovered when 4 of them are randomly selected for inspection. 1. Define the probability mass function of X. 2. What is the probability that at least 2 defective components are discovered during the inspection?

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 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...
