In a factory, computer hard drives are collected in boxes containing 40 hard drives each. A box has 6 defective hard drives, and 34 hard drives which are not defective. A quality control inspector randomly selects 3 hard drives in that box. Consider the discrete random variable X defined as the number of defective hard drives the inspector selects. Find the probability mass function pX of X. Sketch the corresponding cumulative distribution function F

A company produces thousands of plastic toy parts every day. So that the toys can be assembled properly a certain tab thickness x has to meet quality control specifications. The mean of the population of x has to be within a certain range and the standard deviation of the population of x has to be less than a certain value. A quality control inspector took a random sample of 18 parts and measured x. He computed a sample mean of...

Please show your work 11.3.2 Levi-Strauss Co manufactures clothing. The quality control department measures weekly values of different suppliers for the percentage difference of waste between the layout on the computer and the actual waste when the clothing is made (called run-up). The data is in table #11.3.3, and there are some negative values because sometimes the supplier is able to layout the pattern better than the computer ("Waste run up," 2013). Do the data show that there is a...
