Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 16.1, Problem 3E

Suppose a control chart is constructed so that the probability of a point falling outside the control limits when the process is actually in control is .002. What is the probability that ten successive points (based on independently selected samples) will be within the control limits? What is the probability that 25 successive points will all lie within the control limits? What is the smallest number of successive points plotted for which the probability of observing at least one outside the control limits exceeds .10?
