Answer #1

a)

Let X is a random variable shows the number of defective computers out of 50. Here X has binomial distribution with following parameters

n=50 and p=0.04

The probability of exactly 2 defective computers in a shipment of fifty computers is

Excel function used to find the probability is "=BINOMDIST(2,50,0.04,FALSE)"

b)

Here we need to use geometric distribution with parameter p =0.04. The required probability is

Exercise 12.8.1: Probability of manufacturing defects. The probability that a circuit board produced by a particular manufacturer has a defect is 1%. You can assume that errors are independent, so the event that one circuit board has a defect is independent of whether a different circuit board has a defect. (a) What is the probability that out of 100 circuit boards made exactly 2 have defects? (b) What is the probability that out of 100 circuit boards made at least...

It is known that diskettes produced by a certain company will be defective with probability .01, independently of each other. The company sells the diskettes in packages of size 10 and offers a money-back guarantee that at most 1 of the 10 diskettes in the package will be defective. The guarantee is that the customer can return the entire package of diskettes if he or she finds more than one defective diskette in it. A customer continues to buy a...
