Suppose a quality control expert examines iterms for defects in a series of independent fixates, each of a fixed duration, and suppose that defects are present. Let p be the probability that the defect or flaw is detected and 1-p the probability that a defect or flaw is not detected. Let the r.v. X = the number of defects detected in n fixations. a. What is the pmf of X? b. What is the expected value of X = E(X)? c. What is the moment generating function (mgf) for the r.v. X (Remember to state the interval of validity for t)? d. Use it to find the Variance of X.

Question

Suppose a quality control expert examines iterms for defects in a series of independent fixates, each of a fixed duration, and suppose that defects are present. Let p be the probability that the defect or flaw is detected and 1-p the probability that a defect or flaw is not detected. Let the r.v. X = the number of defects detected in n fixations.

a. What is the pmf of X?

b. What is the expected value of X = E(X)?

c. What is the moment generating function (mgf) for the r.v. X (Remember to state the interval of validity for t)?

d. Use it to find the Variance of X.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello. Since your question has multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three sub-parts for you. If you want remaining sub-parts to be solved, then please resubmit the whole question and specify those sub-parts you want us to solve.

It is given that an expert is examining items in a series of independent fixates. p is the probability that the item is defected and detected while 1-p is the probability that an item is defect but does not detected.

Consider that X is a random variable defined as the number of detected in n fixations.

Thus,

X - Вiпотia (n, p)
Binomial
Step 2

a)

The p.m.f of X can be defined as:

P(x -3)-(-ру"
Р(x -х)-
х 3D 0,1, 2...n
