Each of 14 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor because of an audible, high-pitched, oscillating noise when the refrigerators are running. Suppose that 9 of these refrigerators have a defective compressor and the other 5 have less serious problems. If the refrigerators are examined in random order, let X be the number among the first 6 examined that have a defective compressor.   (I have figured out part "a" but need help with "b" and P(X ≤ 3) in "c") (a) Calculate  P(X = 4) and P(X ≤ 4).  (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(X = 4) =  P(X ≤ 4) =  (b) Determine the probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than 1 standard deviation. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)   (c) Consider a large shipment of 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors. If X is the number among 25 randomly selected refrigerators that have defective compressors, describe a less tedious way to calculate (at least approximately)…
Suppose N = 10 and r = 3. Compute the hypergeometric probabilities for the following values of n and x. n = 4, x = 1. n = 2, x = 2 n = 2, x = 0.
3.) Suppose X has probability generating function GX(t) = 0.2 + 0.3t + 0.1t2 + 0.4t3. What is P(X = 2)? What is P(X = 0)?
