Question
Suppose that warranty records for a car maker show that the probability that a new car needs a
warranty repair in the first 90 days is 20%. If a random sample of 20 new cars is selected, what is
the probability that more than 6 will need a warranty repair?
0.0321

Expert Solution
Step 1

here given n = 20

p = probability that car needs warranty repair

q = 1-p = 0.8

here use binomial theorem 

x= no of car needs warranty repair

BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION

  • Each trial is independent
  • Finite number of trial
  • There are two outcomes success and failure
  • Probability of success remain constant in each trial

 

p(x=r)=nr(p)r(q)n-r
