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.
