Answer to Problem 12.35E
X | Exact probability |
0 | 0.000244 |
1 | 0.004395 |
2 | 0.032959 |
3 | 0.131836 |
4 | 0.296631 |
5 | 0.355957 |
6 | 0.177979 |
Explanation of Solution
In the question, it is given that the West African country of Guinea has the highest rate of malaria in the world with
Thus, the probability of each value of X can be calculated by using the binomial excel
In the cumulative, the FALSE gives the exact value and TRUE gives the less than value.
Thus, the calculation will be as:
X | Exact probability |
0 | =BINOM.DIST(AJ116,6,0.75,FALSE) |
1 | =BINOM.DIST(AJ117,6,0.75,FALSE) |
2 | =BINOM.DIST(AJ118,6,0.75,FALSE) |
3 | =BINOM.DIST(AJ119,6,0.75,FALSE) |
4 | =BINOM.DIST(AJ120,6,0.75,FALSE) |
5 | =BINOM.DIST(AJ121,6,0.75,FALSE) |
6 | =BINOM.DIST(AJ122,6,0.75,FALSE) |
The result will be as:
X | Exact probability |
0 | 0.000244 |
1 | 0.004395 |
2 | 0.032959 |
3 | 0.131836 |
4 | 0.296631 |
5 | 0.355957 |
6 | 0.177979 |
Thus, the probability histogram of X will be as:

Answer to Problem 12.35E
The mean is
Explanation of Solution
In the question, it is given that the West African country of Guinea has the highest rate of malaria in the world with
Thus, the mean and standard deviation of this distribution will be calculated as:
Thus, the mean in the histogram is shown as:

Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion.
