A very large batch of components has arrived at a distributor. The batch can be characterized as acceptable only if the proportion of defective components is at most .10. The distributor decides to randomly select 10 components and to accept the batch only if the number of defective components in the sample is at most 2. Let X denote the number of defective components in the sample. What is the distribution of X? Justify your answer. Required:
What is the probability that the batch will be accepted when the actual proportion of defectives (p) is:

a, 0.01
b. 0.05
c. 0.10
d. 0.20
e. 0.25

c. 0.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To accept a batch of components, the proportion of defective components is at most 0.10.

X: Number of defective components in a sample of 10.

This variable has a binomial distribution with parameters n=10 and p= 0.10 (for this binomial experiment, the "success" is finding a defective component)

The distributor will accept the batch if at most two components are defective, symbolically:

P(X≤2)

Using the tables for the binomial distribution you can find the accumulated probability for a sample of n=10 with probability of success of p= 0.10 and number of successes x= 2

P(X≤2)= 0.9298

I hope this helps!

the answer is 844

step-by-step explanation:

it is 844 because if you add 836.50 + 7.5 you will get 844

yes
