Provide an appropriate response. Smith is a weld inspector at a shipyard. He knows from keeping track of good and substandard welds that for the afternoon shift 5% of all welds done will be substandard. If Smith checks 300 of the 7500 welds completed that shift, what is the probability that he will find more than 25 substandard welds? 0.5040 0.4960 0.0040 0.9960

Step 1
We have a fixed number of trials (300 welds), two possible outcomes (substandard or not), and a constant probability of success (finding a substandard weld) of 5% or 0.05. Show more…

Find the probability.At Least One. In Exercises $5-12,$ find the probability. It has been reported that $20 \%$ of iPhones manufactured by Foxconn for a product launch did not meet Apple's quality standards. An engineer needs at least one defective iPhone so she can try to identify the problem(s). If she randomly selects 15 iPhones from a very large batch, what is the probability that she will get at least 1 that is defective? Is that probability high enough so that she can be reasonably sure of getting a defect for her work?
