Defects on plywood sheet occur at random with the average of one defect per 50 sq.ft. Find the probability that such a sheet has:
- no defect
- at least one defect
Use e−1 = 0.3678
उत्तर
Let X denote the number of defects on a plywood sheet.
Given, m = 1, e–1 = 0.3678
∴ X ~ P(m) ≡ X ~ P(1)
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = `("e"^-"m" "m"^x)/(x!)`
∴ P(X = x) = `("e"^-1 (1)^x)/(x!)`
(i) P(no defects on a plywood)
= P(X = 0)
= `("e"^-1 (1)^0)/(0!)`
= `(0.3678 xx 1)/(1)`
= 0.3678
(ii) P(at least one defect)
= P(X ≥ 1)
= 1 – P(X = 0)
= 1 – 0.3678
= 0.6322

A large chain retailer purchases an electric device from the manufacturer. The manufacturer indicates that the defective rate of the device is 10%. The inspector of the retailer randomly selects 4 items from a shipment. Complete the following activity to find the probability that the inspector finds at most one defective item in the 4 selected items.
Solution:
Here, n = 4
p = probability of defective device = 10% = `10/100 = square`
∴ q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.1 = `square`
X ∼ B(4, 0.1)
`P(X=x)=""^n"C"_x p^x q^(n-x)= ""^4"C"_x (0.1)^x (0.9)^(4 - x)`
P[At most one defective device] = P[X ≤ 1]
= P[X=0] + P[X=1]
= `square+square`
∴ P[X ≤ 1] = `square`
