1. A manufacturer of window frames knows from long experience that 5 percent of the production will have some type of minor defect that will require a slight adjustment. (12 points)
a. What is the appropriate probability distribution for the number of defective frames in a random sample of 20 frames? Defend your answer.
The appropriate probability distribution is a binomial distribution with n=20 and p=.05. You can view the outcome as a series of independent Bernoulli trials, each of which have an identical probability of success (.05). The number of successes is distributed as a binomial random variable.
b. What is the probability that in a sample of 20 window frames, none will need adjustment?
P(X=0) = .3585
c. What is the probability that in a sample of 20 window frames, more than 2 will need adjustment?
P(X>2) = 1-P(X(2) = 1-.9245 = .0755
2. Assume that Z is a standard normal random variable. (12 points)
a. What is the probability that Z is less than –1.4?
P(Z ................
