Question
If 5% of the items produced turn out to be defective, then find out the probability that out of 20 items selected at random there are exactly three defectives
Advertisements
Solution
Probability of getting a defective item
p = `5/100 = 1/20`
q = 1 – p
⇒ q = `1 - 1/20`
= `(20 - 1)/20`
q = `19/20` and n = 10
In binomial distribution
P(X = x) = nCxpxqn-x
Here (X = x)= `10"C"_x (1/20)^x (19/20)(10 - x)`
P(exactly three defectives) = P(X= 3)
P(x = 3) = `10""_3 (1/20)^3 (19/20)`
= `(10 xx 9 xx 8)/(1 xx 2 xx 3) xx 1/(20)^3 xx (19)^7/(20)^7`
= `120 xx (19)^7/(20)^10`
= `(120 xx 8.945 xx 10^8)/(1.023 xx 10^13)`
= `(120 xx 8.945)/(102300)`
= `1073.4/102300`
= 0.0105
Let x = (19)2
log x = 7 log(19)7
= 7 log 19
= 7 × 1.2788
= 8.9516
x = Anti log 8.956
= 8.945 × 108
Put y = (20)10
log y = (10) log 20
= 10 × 1.3010
= 13.010
y = Anti log 13.010
= 1.023 × 103
