Problem 22E

A manufacturer of window frames knows from long experience that 5 percent of the production will have some type of minor defect that will require an adjustment. What is the probability that in a sample of 20 window frames:

a. None will need adjustment?

b. At least one will need adjustment?

c. More than two will need adjustment?

Solution

Solution:

Step 1 of 3:

      From the given problem we have

        n = 20, p = 5% , q = 1- 0.05

                       = 0.05     = 0.95

It is a binomial distribution with parameters n = 20, p = 0.05.

The pmf is given by

   

 Here we have to find the probability that in a sample of 20 window frames.

 a). None will need adjustment.

       Thus,

               

                              = 0.3585

     Therefore,
