Question

1. A company generally purchases large lots of a certain kind of electronic device. A method is used that rejects a lot if 2 or more defective units are found in a random sample of 100 units. (a) What is the probability of rejecting a lot that is 2% defective? (6%) (b) What is the probability of accepting a lot that is 5% defective? (6%)

A company generally purchases large lots of a certain kind of electronic device. A method is used that rejects a lot if 3 or more defective units are found in a random sample of 100 units. (a) What is the probability of rejecting a lot that is 2% defective? (b) What is the probability of accepting a lot that is 5% defective? (a) The probability of rejecting a lot that is 2% defective is . (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) The probability of accepting a lot that is 5% defective is . (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

00:01 Okay, let's add the solution.
00:02 So here if the lot is 3 % defective then 3 % defective then then probability of defective then probability of defective then probability of defective equal to 0 .03 probability of normal equal to 0 .97...
