Among 9800 cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, 577 were found to be caused by firmware, which is software programmed into the device. If the firmware is tested in 33 different pacemakers randomly selected from this batch of 9800 and the entire batch is accepted if there are no failures, what is the probability that the firmware in the entire batch will be accepted? Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted?

assume a cardiovascular surgeon has implanted 13 pacemakers in his patients from a new batch of pacemakers that have been found to have a defect that causes them to stop working . If each pacemaker has a 23.47% chance that it will work , what is the probability that all the patients pacemakerss will work the way they are supposed to?
Among 9318 cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, 393 were found to be caused by firmware, which is software programmed into the device. If the firmware is tested in 3 different pacemakers randomly selected from this batch of 9318 and the entire batch is accepted if there are no failures, what is the probability that the firmware in the entire batch will be accepted? Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted? The probability is This procedure is V to result in the entire batch being accepted. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Only 6% of people has 0-negative blood type. If a local blood drive has 100 donors, what is the probability that at least 10 of the 100 donors has O-negative blood?
A small river is found to be polluted due to the chemical waste from two major industries, A and B. Due to the strict standards enforced by the EPA, the probability of controlling the pollutions from A and B are 0.7 and 0.85, respectively, in the next two years. It is estimated that, if only one of the industries complies with the strict standards of EPA, there is a 75 percent probability of controlling the pollution in the river to an acceptable level. (a) Find the probability of controlling the pollution in the river in the next two years. (b) If the pollution in the river is not controlled in the next two years, what is the probability that it is caused entirely by industry A?
A pharmaceutical company receives a large shipment of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 48, tablets then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 6000 tablets actually has a 3% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Or almost all such shipments be accepted or will many be rejected?
A survey showed that 81% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 20 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight correction? The probability that no more than 1 of the 20 adults require eyesight correction is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
A factory uses a specific machine to produce pieces. From previous data, we know that 97% of the time the machine is set up correctly. If this is the case, it produces 95% acceptable (non-defective) pieces. However, if it is not set up correctly, it produces only 40% of acceptable pieces Q23 Given that the selected piece is non-defective, what is the probability that the machine is set up correctly? Your answer should be in % and have two digits after the period. So, if your answer is 50.023%, enter 50.02. Your Answer:
Among 6464 cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, 341 were found to be caused by firmware, which is software programmed into the device. If the firmware is tested in 3 different pacemakers randomly selected from this batch of 6464 and the entire batch is accepted if there are no failures, what is the probability that the firmware in the entire batch will be accepted? Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted? The probability is 0.850 . This procedure is likely to result in the entire batch being accepted.
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of ibuprofen tablets and uses sampling plan to accept the shipmemts. They randomly select and test 27 tablets, and accept the entire batch if there is at most one tablet that does not meet the required specifications.Suppose a particular shipment of ibuprofen tablets has a 4% rate of defects. What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?
A study was conducted to determine whether there were significant differences between medical students admitted through special programs (such as retention incentive and guaranteed placement programs) and medical students admitted through the regular admissions criteria. It was found that the graduation rate was 89.9% for the medical students admitted through special programs. Be sure to enter at least 4 digits of accuracy for this problem!If 9 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 8 of them graduated.prob = At least 4 digits!If 9 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that eactly 6 of them graduated.prob = At least 4 digits!Would it be unusual to randomly select 9 students from the special programs and get exactly 6 that graduate? no, it is not unusual yes, it is unusual If 9 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at…
