A factory received a shipment of 19 bolts, and the vendor who sold the items knows there are 7 bolts in the shipment that are defective. Before the receiving foreman accepts the delivery, he samples the shipment, and if too many of the bolts in the sample are defective, he will refuse the shipment. For each of the following, give your responses as reduced fractions. If a sample of 7 bolts is selected, find the probability that all in the sample are defective. If a sample of 7 bolts is selected, find the probability that none in the sample are defective.

Respuesta :

Answer:18

Step-by-step explanation: 19-7=12 bolts and 7+7=14 so 12-14=18

If a sample of 7 bolts is selected, then the probability that all in the sample are defective = [tex]\frac{7}{50388}[/tex]

If a sample of 7 bolts is selected, then the probability that none in the sample are defective = [tex]\frac{66}{4199}[/tex]

What is probability?

"Probability is a branch of mathematics which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event."

Formula of the probability of an event A is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where,  n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes, n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.

What is the formula for combination?

[tex]^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

For given question,

Out of 19 bolts, 7 bolts are defective.

So 19 - 7 = 12 bolts are non-defective.

If sample of 7 bolts is selected.

The total number of ways of selecting 7 bolts from the 19 bolts.

Using combination formula,

[tex]^{19}C_7\\\\=\frac{19!}{7!(19-7)!} \\\\=50388[/tex]

Let event A:  all bolts in the sample are defective

n(A) = 7

So the probability that all in the sample are defective would be,

[tex]P(A)=\frac{7}{50388}[/tex]

Let event B: no bolt in the sample are defective

This means the sample of 7 bolts has non-defective.

The total number of ways of selecting 7 bolts from the 12 non-defective bolts.

Using combination formula,

[tex]^{12}C_7\\=\frac{12!}{7!(12-7)!}\\\\ =792[/tex]

son n(B) = 792

So, the probability that none in the sample are defective would be,

[tex]P(B)=\frac{792}{50388} \\\\P(B)=\frac{66}{4199}[/tex]

Therefore,  If a sample of 7 bolts is selected, then the probability that all bolts in the sample are defective = [tex]\frac{7}{50388}[/tex]

If a sample of 7 bolts is selected, then the probability that none in the sample are defective = [tex]\frac{66}{4199}[/tex]
