9.19 In bottle production, bubbles that appear in the glass are considered defects. Any botle
that has more than two bubbles is elassified as "nonconforming" and is sent to recycling
Suppose that a particular production line produces bottles with bubbles at a rate of 1.
bubbles per bottle. Bubbles occur independently of one another.
a What is the probability that a randomly chosen bottle is nonconfornming?
b Bottles are packed in cases of 12. An inspector chooses one bottle from each case
and examines it for defects. If it is nonconforming, she inspects the entire case, re
placing nonconforming bottles with good ones. This process is called rectification
If the chosen bottle conforms (has two or fewer bubbles), then she passes the cuse.
In total, 20 cases are produced. What is the probability that at least 18 of them pass!
c What is the expected number of nonconforming bottles in the 20 cases after they have
been inspected and rectified using the scheme described in part b?

Add the category of "other" to that list.a) Compose a check sheet [like that in Figure 6.6(a)] to collectthe frequency of occurrence of these habits. Using your checksheet, visit a busy traffic light intersection at four differenttimes of the day, with two of these times being during hightrafficperiods (rush hour, lunch hour).
