Math Problem Statement

A manufacturing company regularly conducts quality control checks on LED light bulbs, where the failure rate is 5%. A random sample of 10 bulbs is tested to find the probability that (a) none are defective, (b) exactly one is defective, (c) three or fewer are defective, and (d) four or more are defective.

Solution

It looks like the image you uploaded contains questions related to the probability of defective LED light bulbs. It seems like you're working with a binomial distribution where the probability of a defective bulb is given as 5% (0.05), and the sample size is 10.

Here are the steps to solve these problems:

  1. a. Probability that none of the LED light bulbs are defective: This is asking for P(X=0)P(X = 0), where XX is the number of defective light bulbs. We can use the binomial probability formula:

    P(X=k)=(nk)pk(1p)nkP(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k} Where:

    • n=10n = 10 (sample size)
    • k=0k = 0 (none defective)
    • p=0.05p = 0.05 (probability of a defective bulb)

    Using this formula, we can calculate the probability for k=0k = 0.

  2. b. Probability that exactly one of the LED light bulbs is defective: This is asking for P(X=1)P(X = 1). You would use the same binomial formula with k=1k = 1.

  3. c. Probability that three or fewer of the LED light bulbs are defective: This asks for P(X3)P(X \leq 3). This can be calculated by adding up the probabilities from P(X=0)P(X = 0) to P(X=3)P(X = 3).

  4. d. Probability that four or more of the LED light bulbs are defective: This asks for P(X4)P(X \geq 4). To find this, you can use the complement rule: P(X4)=1P(X3)P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)

I see that the probabilities for each part have already been provided in the image:

  • a. 0.5987
  • b. 0.3151
  • c. 0.9989
  • d. 0.0116

Would you like me to explain how these values were obtained, or do you need help with any specific part of the process?
