Suppose that 9 of these refrigerators have a defective compressor and the other 5 have less serious problems. If the refrigerators are examined in random order, let X be the number among the first 6 examined that have a defective compressor. (I have figured out part "a" but need help with "b" and P(X ≤ 3) in "c") (a) Calculate P(X = 4) and P(X ≤ 4). (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(X = 4) = P(X ≤ 4) = (b) Determine the probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than 1 standard deviation. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) Consider a large shipment of 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors. If X is the number among 25 randomly selected refrigerators that have defective compressors, describe a less tedious way to calculate (at least approximately)…arrow_forward
- Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 150 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. b) Find the P-value. c) Should a change be made?arrow_forwardResistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors.

- A medical researcher says that less than 72% of adults in a certain country think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. In a random sample of 300 adults in that country, 70% think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. At a = 0.10, is there enough evidence to support the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) Identify the claim and state H, and H, Identify the claim in this scenario.
