Problem 213SE

A lot of N = 100 industrial products contains 40defectives. Let Y be the number of defectives in a random sample of size 20. Find p(10) by using (a) the hypergeometric probability distribution and (b) the binomial probability distribution. Is N large enough that the value for p(10) obtained from the binomial distribution is a good approximation to that obtained using the hypergeometric distribution?

Problem 213SE

A lot of N = 100 industrial products contains 40defectives. Let Y be the number of defectives in a random sample of size 20. Find p(10) by using (a) the hypergeometric probability distribution and (b) the binomial probability distribution. Is N large enough that the value for p(10) obtained from the binomial distribution is a good approximation to that obtained using the hypergeometric distribution?

ANSWER:

Solution

Step 1 of 2

a) We have find p(10) by using hyper geometric distribution

The pmf of hyper geometric distribution is

Given that the lot size (N)=100

          The sample size (n)=20

         No.of defectives (r )=40

 Now P(10)

              =0.1192

Hence by using hyper geometric distribution p(10)=0.1192
