In a process that manufactures bearings, 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification. A shipment contains 500 bearings. A shipment is acceptable if at least 440 of the 500 bearings meet the specification. Assume that each shipment contains a random sample of bearings. a. What is the probability that a given shipment is acceptable? b. What is the probability that more than 285 out of 300 shipments are acceptable? c. What proportion of bearings must meet the specification in order that 99% of the shipments are acceptable?

Answer:

(a) 0.94

(b) 0.20

(c) 90.53%

Step-by-step explanation:

From a population (Bernoulli population), 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification, let [tex]p_1[/tex] be the probability that a bearing meets the specification.

So, [tex]p_1=0.9[/tex]

Sample size, [tex]n_1=500[/tex], is large.

Let X represent the number of acceptable bearing.

Convert this to a normal distribution,

Mean: [tex]\mu_1=n_1p_1=500\times0.9=450[/tex]

Variance: [tex]\sigma_1^2=n_1p_1(1-p_1)=500\times0.9\times0.1=45[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \sigma_1 =\sqrt{45}=6.71[/tex]

(a) A shipment is acceptable if at least 440 of the 500 bearings meet the specification.

So, [tex]X\geq 440.[/tex]

Here, 440 is included, so, by using the continuity correction, take x=439.5 to compute z score for the normal distribution.

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{339.5-450}{6.71}=-1.56[/tex].

So, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is

[tex]P(z\geq-1.56)=\int_{-1.56}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{\frac{-z^2}{2}}=0.94062[/tex]

Hence,  the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is 0.94.

(b) We have the probability of acceptability of one shipment 0.94, which is same for each shipment, so here the number of shipments is a Binomial population.

Denote the probability od acceptance of a shipment by [tex]p_2[/tex].

[tex]p_2=0.94[/tex]

The total number of shipment, i.e sample size, [tex]n_2= 300[/tex]

Here, the sample size is sufficiently large to approximate it as a normal distribution, for which mean, [tex]\mu_2[/tex], and variance, [tex]\sigma_2^2[/tex].

Mean: [tex]\mu_2=n_2p_2=300\times0.94=282[/tex]

Variance: [tex]\sigma_2^2=n_2p_2(1-p_2)=300\times0.94(1-0.94)=16.92[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \sigma_2=\sqrt(16.92}=4.11[/tex].

In this case, X>285, so, by using the continuity correction, take x=285.5 to compute z score for the normal distribution.

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{285.5-282}{4.11}=0.85[/tex].

So, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is

[tex]P(z\geq0.85)=\int_{0.85}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{\frac{-z^2}{2}=0.1977[/tex]

Hence,  the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is 0.20.

(c) For the acceptance of 99% shipment of in the total shipment of 300 (sample size).

The area right to the z-score=0.99

and the area left to the z-score is 1-0.99=0.001.

For this value, the value of z-score is -3.09 (from the z-score table)

Let, [tex]\alpha[/tex] be the required probability of acceptance of one shipment.

So,

[tex]-3.09=\frac{285.5-300\alpha}{\sqrt{300 \alpha(1-\alpha)}}[/tex]

On solving

[tex]\alpha= 0.977896[/tex]

Again, the probability of acceptance of one shipment, [tex]\alpha[/tex], depends on the probability of meeting the thickness specification of one bearing.

For this case,

The area right to the z-score=0.97790

and the area left to the z-score is 1-0.97790=0.0221.

The value of z-score is -2.01 (from the z-score table)

Let [tex]p[/tex] be the probability that one bearing meets the specification. So

[tex]-2.01=\frac{439.5-500 p}{\sqrt{500 p(1-p)}}[/tex]

On solving

[tex]p=0.9053[/tex]

Hence, 90.53% of the bearings meet a thickness specification so that 99% of the shipments are acceptable.

The manufactures bearings.

As per the question, the process that a manufacturer bears 90% of the bearings and meet the thickness specifications. The shipment consists of 500 bearings. The shipment if taken has a least 440 and 500 bearings.

the answer is 0.94, 0.20, and 90.53%.

  • The assumption is that each shipment is randomly taken in a sample of bearings.
  • The chances or the probability that that given shipment are acceptable are 0.94% and the probability that they are more than 285 out of the 300 bearings is 0.205.
  • The part of bearings that must meet the specifications in order to be 99% of shipments is 90.5%.
