1. 0.2013 = 20.12% probability that exactly 3 will have defective wrapping.

2. 0.1209 = 12.09% probability that at least 4 will have defective wrapping.

3. 0.9671 = 96.71% probability that at most 4 will have defective wrapping.

4. 0.6242 = 62.42% probability that at least 2 will have defective wrapping.

5. 2

6. 1.265

Step-by-step explanation:

For each product, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a product being defective is independent of any other product, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of the product wrappings are defective.

This means that p = 0.2

10 products are selected at random

This means that n = 10

1. Exactly 3 will have defective wrapping

This is P(X = 3). So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{7} = 0.2013$

0.2013 = 20.12% probability that exactly 3 will have defective wrapping.

2. At least 4 will have defective wrapping

This is:

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)$

In which:

P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2684$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{8} = 0.3020$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{7} = 0.2013$

Then

P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.1074 + 0.2684 + 0.3020 + 0.2013 = 0.8791

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.8791 = 0.1209$

0.1209 = 12.09% probability that at least 4 will have defective wrapping.

3. At most 4 will have defective wrapping

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

In the previous item, the only missing was P(X = 4). So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.2)^{4}.(0.8)^{6} = 0.0880$

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.1074 + 0.2684 + 0.3020 + 0.2013 + 0.0880 = 0.9671$

0.9671 = 96.71% probability that at most 4 will have defective wrapping.

4. At least 2 will have defective wrapping

This is:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1074 + 0.2684 = 0.3758

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.3758 = 0.6242$

0.6242 = 62.42% probability that at least 2 will have defective wrapping.

5. Calculate the mean (i.e. expected value of x)

For the binomial distribution:

E(X) = np

E(X) = 10(0.2) = 2

The mean is of 2.

6. Calculate the standard deviation

For the binomial distirbution:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

In this case

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{10*0.2*0.8} = 1.265$

The standard deviation is of 1.265.

Answer from: Quest

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
