A batch of 40 semiconductor chips is inspected by choosing a sample of 5 chips. Assume 10 of the chips do not conform to customer requirements. Round your answers to the nearest integer. a. How many different samples are possible? b. How many samples of 5 contain exactly one nonconforming chip? c. How many samples of 5 contain at least one nonconforming chip?

a) 658008 samples

b) 274050 samples

c) 515502 samples

Step-by-step explanation:

a) How many ways sample of 5 each can be selected from 40 is just a combination problem since the order of selection isn't important.

So, the number of samples = ⁴⁰C₅ = 658008 samples

b) How many samples of 5 contain exactly one nonconforming chip?

There are 10 nonconforming chips in the batch, and 1 nonconforming chip for the sample of 5 be picked from ten in the following number of ways

¹⁰C₁ = 10 ways

then the remaining 4 conforming chips in a sample of 5 can be picked from the remaining 30 total conforming chips in the following number of ways

³⁰C₄ = 27405 ways

So, total number of samples containing exactly 1 nonconforming chip in a sample of 5 = 10 × 27405 = 274050 samples

c) How many samples of 5 contain at least one nonconforming chip?

The number of samples of 5 that contain at least one nonconforming chip = (Total number of samples) - (Number of samples with no nonconforming chip in them)

Number of samples with no nonconforming chip in them = ³⁰C₅ = 142506 samples

Total number of samples = 658008

The number of samples of 5 that contain at least one nonconforming chip = 658008 - 142506 = 515502 samples

what's that

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.
