Each of 15 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor because of an audible, high-pitched, oscillating noise when the refrigerators are running. Suppose that 12 of these refrigerators have a defective compressor and the other 3 have less serious problems. If the refrigerators are examined in random order, let X be the number among the first 11 examined that have a defective compressor.
(a) Calculate
P(X = 9) and P(X ≤ 9). (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
P(X = 9) = .4835
P(X ≤ 9) = .8462
(b) Determine the probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than 1 standard deviation. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
