In a process that manufactures bearings, 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification. A shipment contains 500 bearings. A shipment is acceptable if at least 440 of the 500 bearings meet the specification. Assume that each shipment contains a random sample of bearings. a. What is the probability that a given shipment is acceptable? b. What is the probability that more than 285 out of 300 shipments are acceptable? c. What proportion of bearings must meet the specification in order that 99% of the shipments are acceptable?

(a) 0.94

(b) 0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

From a population (Bernoulli population), 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification, let p_1 be the probability that a bearing meets the specification.

So, p_1=0.9

Sample size, n_1=500 , is large.

Let X represent the number of acceptable bearing.

Convert this to a normal distribution,

Mean: $\mu_1=n_1p_1=500\times0.9=450$

Variance: $\sigma_1^2=n_1p_1(1-p_1)=500\times0.9\times0.1=45$

$\Rightarrow \sigma_1 =\sqrt{45}=6.71$

(a) A shipment is acceptable if at least 440 of the 500 bearings meet the specification.

So, $X\geq 440.$

Here, 440 is included, so, by using the continuity correction, take x=439.5 to compute z score for the normal distribution.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{339.5-450}{6.71}=-1.56$ .

So, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is

$P(z\geq-1.56)=\int_{-1.56}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{\frac{-z^2}{2}}=0.94062$

Hence, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is 0.94.

(b) We have the probability of acceptability of one shipment 0.94, which is same for each shipment, so here the number of shipments is a Binomial population.

Denote the probability od acceptance of a shipment by p_2 .

p_2=0.94

The total number of shipment, i.e sample size, n_2= 300

Here, the sample size is sufficiently large to approximate it as a normal distribution, for which mean, $\mu_2$ , and variance, $\sigma_2^2$ .

Mean: $\mu_2=n_2p_2=300\times0.94=282$

Variance: $\sigma_2^2=n_2p_2(1-p_2)=300\times0.94(1-0.94)=16.92$

$\Rightarrow \sigma_2=\sqrt(16.92}=4.11$ .

In this case, X>285, so, by using the continuity correction, take x=285.5 to compute z score for the normal distribution.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{285.5-282}{4.11}=0.85$ .

So, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is

$P(z\geq0.85)=\int_{0.85}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{\frac{-z^2}{2}=0.1977$

Hence, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is 0.20.

The area right to the z-score=0.99

and the area left to the z-score is 1-0.99=0.001.

For this value, the value of z-score is -3.09 (from the z-score table)

Let, $\alpha$ be the required probability of acceptance of one shipment.

So,

$-3.09=\frac{285.5-300\alpha}{\sqrt{300 \alpha(1-\alpha)}}$

On solving

$\alpha= 0.977896$

Again, the probability of acceptance of one shipment, $\alpha$ , depends on the probability of meeting the thickness specification of one bearing.

For this case,

The area right to the z-score=0.97790

and the area left to the z-score is 1-0.97790=0.0221.

The value of z-score is -2.01 (from the z-score table)

Let be the probability that one bearing meets the specification. So

$-2.01=\frac{439.5-500 p}{\sqrt{500 p(1-p)}}$

On solving

p=0.9053

Hence, 90.53% of the bearings meet a thickness specification so that 99% of the shipments are acceptable.

Answer from: Quest

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
