Example 2-28 Continuing with semiconductor manufacturing, assume the following probabilities for product failure subject to levels of contamination during chip manufacture, find the probability of failure. Solution Probability of Failure | Level of Contamination | Probability of Level 0.100 | High | 0.2 0.010 | Medium | 0.3 0.001 | Low | 0.5

Step 1
We need to find the overall probability of failure. Let A be the event of product failure, and let B1, B2, and B3 be the events of high, medium, and low contamination levels, respectively. We are given the following probabilities: P(B1) = 0.100 (probability of Show more…

Contamination problems in semiconductor manufacturing can result in a functional defect, a minor defect, or no defect in the final product. Suppose that 20%, 50%, and 30% of the contamination problems result in functional, minor, and no defects, respectively. Assume that the defects of 10 contamination problems are independent. (a) What is the probability that the 10 contamination problems result in two functional defects and five minor defects? (b) What is the distribution of the number of contamination problems that result in no defects? (c) What is the expected number of contamination problems that result in no defects?

Contamination problems in semiconductor manufacturing can result in a functional defect, a minor defect, or no defect in the final product. Suppose that $20,50,$ and $30 \%$ of the contamination problems result in functional, minor, and no defects, respectively. Assume that the defects of 10 contamination problems are independent. (a) What is the probability that the 10 contamination problems result in two functional defects and five minor defects? (b) What is the distribution of the number of contamination problems that result in no defects? (c) What is the expected number of contamination problems that result in no defects?
