It is known that 10% of the calculators shipped from a particular factory are defective. What is the probability that at least one in a random sample of four calculators is defective? **Homework Question 5 for Exam 2 Review****Question 5:**It is known that 10% of the calculators shipped from a particular factory are defective. What is the probability that at least one in a random sample of four calculators is defective?**Multiple Choice Options:**- (A) 0.0010- (B) 0.2916- (C) 0.3439- (D) 0.6561**Navigation:**- Prev (Previous question): Question 4 of 90- Next (Next question): Question 6 of 90**Additional Resources:**- eBook- Print- ReferencesNote: This homework question is provided by McGraw Hill Education.**Explanation:**To solve this problem, use the complement rule of probability. Calculate the probability that none of the calculators are defective and subtract it from 1 to find the probability that at least one is defective.Let \( p = 0.10 \) be the probability that a calculator is defective. The probability that a calculator is not defective is \( 1 - p = 0.90 \).For four calculators, the probability that none are defective is \( 0.90^4 \).Therefore, the probability that at least one is defective is \( 1 - 0.90^4 \).

p= 10% = 0.10 q = 1- p = 1- 0.10 = 0.90 N= 4 P(x≥1)=? P(X=x) NCx *px* q(n- x)P(x≥1) = 1- P(x=0) = 1 - [4C0 * (0.10)⁰ * (0.90)⁴ ] = 1 - [1*1*0.6561] = 0.3439 Answer : 3rd option is correct : P(at least 1) = 0.3439

We believe that 95% of the population of all Elementary Statistics students consider Statistics an exciting subject. Suppose we randomly and independently selected 20 students from the population. If the true percentage is really 95% find the probability of observing 19 or more of the students who consider statistics to be an exciting subject in our sample of 20.

Do cat owners sleep better than those without cats? To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a neutral sleeper or a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected non-cat owner is a bad sleeper. That is, find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper, given they are not a cat owner Can you handwrite the solution?
