The records of a light bulb manufacturer show that, when the manufacturing machinery is working correctly, the defect rate (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. The manufacturer's control department periodically tests samples of the bulbs, and when 1.25% or more are defective, they call repair technicians for service. The control department is going to take a random sample of 4400 light bulbs. Let p be the proportion of defective light bulbs in the sample assuming the machinery is working correctly.

Question

100%

The control department is going to take a random sample of 4400 light bulbs. Let p be the proportion of defective light bulbs in the sample assuming the machinery is working correctly.

Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

(a) Find the mean of p.

(b) Find the standard deviation of p.

(c) Compute an approximation for P(P ≥ 0.0125), which is the probability that, assuming the machinery is working correctly, the repair technicians will be called. Round your answer to four decimal places.
