A company purchases a certain kind of electronic device from a manufacturer. The manufacturer indicates that the defective rate of the device is 3%. 1) The inspector randomly picks 20 items from a shipment. What is the probability that there will be at least one defective item among these 20? 2) Suppose that the company receives 10 shipments in a month and the inspector randomly tests 20 devices per shipment. What is the probability that there will be exactly 3 Shipments each containing at least one defective device among the 20 that are selected and tested from the shipment?​

1) The probability of at least 1 defective is approximately 45.621%

2) The probability that there will be exactly 3 shipments each containing at least 1 defective device among the 20 devices that are tested from the shipment is approximately 16.0212%

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The defective rate of the device = 3%

Therefore, the probability that a selected device will be defective, p = 3/100

The probability of at least one defective item in 20 items inspected is given by binomial theorem as follows;

The probability that a device is mot defective, q = 1 - p = 1 - 3/100 = 97/100 = 0.97

The probability of 0 defective in 20 = ₂₀C₀(0.03)⁰·(0.97)²⁰ ≈ 0.543794342927

The probability of at least 1 = 1 - The probability of 0 defective in 20

∴ The probability of at least 1 = 1 - 0.543794342927 = 0.45621

The probability of at least 1 defective ≈ 0.45621 = 45.621%

2) The probability of at least 1 defective in a shipment, p ≈ 0.45621

Therefore, the probability of not exactly 1 defective = q = 1 - p

∴ q ≈ 1 - 0.45621 = 0.54379

The probability of exactly 3 shipment with at least 1 defective, P(Exactly 3 with at least 1) is given as follows;

P(Exactly 3 with at least 1) = ₁₀C₃(0.45621)³(0.54379)⁷ ≈ 0.160212

Therefore, the probability that there will be exactly 3 shipments each containing at least 1 defective device among the 20 devices that are tested from the shipment is 16.0212%
