Problem 130E

Assume that 20 parts are checked each hour and that X denotes the number of parts in the sample of 20 that require rework. Parts are assumed to be independent with respect to rework.

(a) If the percentage of parts that require rework remains at 1%, what is the probability that hour 10 is the first sample at which X exceeds 1?

(b) If the rework percentage increases to 4%, what is the probability that hour 10 is the first sample at which X exceeds 1?

(c) If the rework percentage increases to 4%, what is the expected number of hours until Xexceeds 1?

Problem 130E

Assume that 20 parts are checked each hour and that X denotes the number of parts in the sample of 20 that require rework. Parts are assumed to be independent with respect to rework.

(a) If the percentage of parts that require rework remains at 1%, what is the probability that hour 10 is the first sample at which X exceeds 1?

(b) If the rework percentage increases to 4%, what is the probability that hour 10 is the first sample at which X exceeds 1?

(c) If the rework percentage increases to 4%, what is the expected number of hours until Xexceeds 1?

ANSWER:

Solution 130E

Step1 of 4:

Let us consider a random variable X it presents the number of parts that require rework. Also we have n = 20 and p = 0.01.

Here our goal is:

a). We need to find the probability that hour 10 is the first sample at which X exceeds 1.

b). We need to find the probability that hour 10 is the first sample at which X exceeds 1.

c). We need to find  the expected number of hours until X Exceeds 1.


Step2 of 4:

a).

Suppose that a random variable X follows binomial distribution with parameters ‘n and p’.

Then, the probability mass function of binomial is distribution is given by:

x = 0,1,2,...,n.

Here, we have n = 20, p = 0.01.
