6. The industry standards suggest that 10% of new vehicles require warranty service within the first year. A dealer sold 15 Nissans yesterday. Use equation (page 209) for part a) and Table II in back of book for part b) & c). Explain how you got values from table.
This problem is modeled by a binomial random variable X.
The parameters of X are:
15 and 0.10
You can describe X symbolically as:
15 0.10
The possible outcomes X are the integers from 0 to 15. If you want to find the probability of one of these outcomes, you ...
