Question

Transcribed Image Text:We randomly select a batch of 40 computer disks for shipment. The probability of
selecting a good disk is the same as the probability of selecting a defective disk. In
part C, you will determine the probability that this shipment contains 10 defective
disks and 30 good disks for our batch or 15 defective disks and 25 good disks for our
batch. Note: I am not asking for an example of an outcome, although I may ask for
examples of outcomes on the exam.
A. What is the size of your sample space S?
i.e., How many different outcomes (batches of 40 disks) in your sample space?
What are the conditions?
What counting technique(s) are you using?
B. How many outcomes when randomly selecting 10 defective disks and 30 good
disks for our batch or 15 defective disks and 25 good disks for our batch.
What are the conditions?
What counting technique(s) are you using?
C What is the probability of randomly selecting a batch of 10 defective disks and
30 good disks or a batch of 15 defective disks and 25 good disks for shipment?
