A company is interested in evaluating its current inspection procedure on large shipments of identical items. The procedure is to take a sample of 5 items and pass the shipment if no more than 1 item is found to be defective. It is known that items are defective at a 10% rate overall. a. What is the probability that the inspection procedure will pass the shipment? b. What is the expected number of defectives in this process of inspecting 5 items? c. If items are defective at a 20% rate overall, what is the probability that you will find 4 defectives in a sample of 5?

(a) The probability that the inspection procedure will pass the shipment is 0.9185.

(b) The expected number of defectives in this process of inspecting 5 items is 0.50.

(c) The probability that there will be 4 defectives in a sample of 5 is 0.0016.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of defective items.

The probability of selecting a defective item is, p = 0.10.

A sample of n = 5 items is selected at random.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.10.

The probability mass function of X is:

It is provided that the shipment will pass if there are no more than 1 defective items in the selected 5 units.

(a)

Compute the probability that the inspection procedure will pass the shipment as follows:

P (X ≤ 1) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1)

Thus, the probability that the inspection procedure will pass the shipment is 0.9185.

(b)

The expected value of a Binomial distribution is:

Compute the expected number of defectives in this process of inspecting 5 items as follows:

Thus, the expected number of defectives in this process of inspecting 5 items is 0.50.

(c)

The probability of finding a defective is now changed to 0.20.

Compute the probability that there will be 4 defectives in a sample of 5 as follows;

Thus, the probability that there will be 4 defectives in a sample of 5 is 0.0016.

5x+10 is the correct one

square pyramid

step-by-step explanation:

square prism looks like nothing like that

triangular prism has a rectangular base instead of a square base

tetrahedron has a triangular base
