  • Probability

    p = 1% = 0.01, q = 1 - p = 0.99, n = 100, r = 2 P(More than 2 defectives out of 100 samples) = 1 - [P(0 defectives) + P(1 defective) + P(2 defectives)] P(r defectives out of n samples) = nCr * p^r * q^(n - r) [Binomial Probability Formula] P(

  • Acceptance-sampling scheme

    If the cutoff in (a) is adopted, what is the probability that the batch will be sent back?

  • Calculating binomial probabilities

    What is the probability that a shipment of plastic bottles contains 8 or more defectives? d. What is the probability that between 8 and 10 bottles are defective? e. What is the probability that there are exactly 8 defectives? f.

  • Normal approximation to binomial

    (Using normal approximation to binomial) a) Find the probability that you will find 0 defectives in 80 items. b) Find the probability you will find none if p = 1.5% Components shipped include 0.5% defectives.

  • Application of Binonomial Distribution

    We can see that at 4 defectives, the probability is 0.03<0.05. Hence, we need to find at least 4 defectives in a sample of 20 so that we will shut down the line.

  • Probability

    9161 Probability of Defective Shipment A shipment of 50 VCRs had 6 defectives. If a person bought two cameras, find the probability of getting 2 defectives.

  • Standard deviation and quality control

    If this sample contains 0 defectives the output is accepted, otherwise it is rejected. Use the binomial distribution to calculate the probability of (i) 0 (ii) 1 (iii) 2 defectives in a sample of 10.

  • Binomial probability distribution

    n C 4 p r q n-r Here n= 10 Therefore Probability of r defectives = 10 C 4 p r q 10-r Probability of 0 defectives (r=0) = 10 C 0 p 0 q 10 = 1 x (0.01) 0 x (0.99) 10 = 0.9044 Probability of 1 defectives (r=1) = 10 C 1 p 1 q 9 = 10 x

  • Probability, Permautations, Combinations

    Out of the total defectives, Defectives from A = 35% x 3% = 1.05% Defectives from B = 65 % x 2% = 1.3% Total number of defectives = 1.05% + 1.3% = 2.35% B contributes 1.3% out of it Therefore, probability that the defective item came from store
