Suppose that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30

0.9726 = 97.26% approximate probability that X is at most 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that , .

11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped).

This means that

Random sample of 200 shafts

This means that

Mean and Standard deviation:

(a) What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30

Using continuity correction, this is , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 30.5. So

has a pvalue of 0.9726.

0.9726 = 97.26% approximate probability that X is at most 30
