A binomial probability question 2019-10-08
venni pose la question :
The Medassist Pharmaceutical Company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets and uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 24 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn’t meet the required specifications. If a particular shipment of thousands of aspirin tablets actually has a 4% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?

The binomial distribution 2019-10-01
PY pose la question :
An on-line game called ‘Shop Quiz’ is held by an e-commerce platform, from Monday to Friday every week. It consists of 8 multiple choice questions (MCQ) and each question has four options (A, B, C, D). Only one option is the correct answer. People who are able to correctly answer all 8 questions are winners and will be awarded a number of on-line shopping credits. Let X represent the number of questions that a person can answer correctly in a ‘Shop Quiz’.

1) Explain why Binomial distribution might NOT be a suitable distribution for the random variable X.

Mr. Saul likes playing the quiz, however, he is afraid that he might not have the necessary knowledge to answer the quiz questions. (The quiz questions cover a variety of topics including science, history, entertainment, sports and geography, etc.) Therefore, he tries to win the game by simply guessing the answers to each question.

Sample size 2010-03-29
Rae pose la question :
What sample size was needed to obtain an error range of 2% if the following statement was made? "75% of the workers support the proposed benefit package. These results are considered accurate to within + or - 2%, 18 out of 20 times. This seems like a straight forward question but I'm getting it wrong. Could you please help me out even just the set up would be appreciated so I can see if that's where I'm going wrong. Thanks

Jessica pose la question :
A small mobile phone retailer has found that one of their phones has a 12% probability of being faulty and a replacement having to be provided for the customer. They have just received a trial order for 10 phones from their biggest customer who will take their business elsewhere if 20% or more items are faulty.

A multiple choice exam 2008-09-13
Phalange pose la question :
A multiple choice exam consists of 12 questions, each having 5 possible answers. To pass, you must answer at least 9 out of 12 questions correctly. What is the probability of passing if:
a. You go into the exam without knowing a thing, and have to resort to pure guessing?
b. You have studied enough so that on each question, 3 choices can be eliminated. But then you have to make a pure guess between the remaining 2 choices.
c. You have studied enough so that you know for sure the correct answer on 2 questions. For the remaining 10 questions you have to resort to pure guessing.

Standard deviation 2007-09-01
Pat pose la question :
I have looked over your math question and mines is not there. for a binomiial distribution with parmeter n and p, the mean is np and the standard deviation is np(1-p). I understand how to get the np but not understanding how to get the (1-p). For example np=(40)(0.48)(1-0.48)=3.160. How can I get the (1-0.48) answer please

Mini pose la question :
Find the sample size needed to be 98% confident thata marketing survey on the proportion of shoppers who use the internet for holiday shopping is accurate within a margin of error of 0.02. Assume that the conditions for a binomial distribution are met, and that a current estimate for a sample proportion does not exist.

A hypothesis test 2007-04-09
Katrina pose la question :
I have already tried to do this problem but im having a very had time with it. Can you please help me.

Glamour Magazine sponsored a survey of 2500 prospective brides and found that 60% of them spent less than $750 on their wedding gown. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that less than 62% of brides spend less than $750 on their wedding gown. How are the results affected if it is learned that the responses were obtained from magazine readers who decided to respond to the survey through an Internet Web site?

A binomial distribution exercise 2006-01-21
Belinda pose la question :
In a survey of 15 manufacturing firms, the number of firms that use LIFO (a last-in first-out accounting procedure for inventory) is a binomial random variable x with n=15 and p=0.2. a) What is the probability that five or fewer firms will be found to use LIFO? Is it unlikely that more than 10 firms will be found to use LIFO? Comment.

A confidence interval 2006-01-21
Jonathan pose la question :

I am attempting to calculate how my confidence interval will widen at the 95% confidence level if my response universe increases from 100 to 150 or to 200.

There is a universe of 54,000. I take a 5% sample for a test universe of 2,700

If my "yes" universe is 100, at the 95% confidence level, what is my +/- range? (i.e +/- 3? +/-5?)

Historically, 6.6% of the 2,700 you say "yes". I am trying to determine how the confidence interval would change if the number of "yes" responders increased to 150 or to 200.

What is the variance of the difference of two binomials? 1996-02-08
Chris Johnson pose la question :
My co-workers and I have come up with different estimates of the z-statistic, and are in particular disagreement over the calculation of Variance for this problem. I am trying to find out, with a five percent level of significance, whether the new form yields a higher rate of return than the old form. Any thoughts, comments, or solutions?
