Solution:


a. 0 defective circuit boards
Given that $x=0,n=4,a=4, N=24$
Hypergeometric distribution, $h(x;n,a,N)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}a\\ x\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}N-a\\ n-x\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}N\\ n\end{array}\right)}$
$P(x=0) = h(0;4,4,24)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}4\\ 0\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}24-4\\ 4-0\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}24\\ 4\end{array}\right)} = 0.456.$

b. 1 defective circuit board
Given that $x=1,n=4,a=4, N=24$
Hypergeometric distribution, $h(x;n,a,N)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}a\\ x\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}N-a\\ n-x\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}N\\ n\end{array}\right)}$
$P(x=1) = h(1;4,4,24)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}4\\ 1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}24-4\\ 4-1\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}24\\ 4\end{array}\right)} = 0.4291.$

c. 2 or more defective circuit boards
Given that $n=4,a=4, N=24$
Hypergeometric distribution, $h(x;n,a,N)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}a\\ x\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}N-a\\ n-x\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}N\\ n\end{array}\right)}$
$P(x\ge 2) = 1-P(x<2) = 1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)]$
$P(x=0) = h(0;4,4,24)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}4\\ 0\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}24-4\\ 4-0\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}24\\ 4\end{array}\right)} = 0.456$
$P(x=1) = h(1;4,4,24)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}4\\ 1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}24-4\\ 4-1\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}24\\ 4\end{array}\right)} = 0.4291$
$P(x\ge 2) = 1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)] = 1-(0.456+0.4291) = 1- 0.88509 = 0.1149$

Problem 105: If a bank receives on the average α = 6 bad checks per day, what are the probabilities that it will receive (a) 4 bad checks on any given day?
(b) 10 bad checks over any 2 consecutive days?

Problem 105: If a bank receives on the average α = 6 bad checks per day, what are the probabilities that it will receive (a) 4 bad checks on any given day? (b) 10 bad checks over any 2 consecutive days? Solution: Poisson distribution, $f(x;\lambda )=\frac{{\lambda }^{x}{e}^{-\lambda }}{x!}$ a. 4 bad checks on any given day Given that $x=4, \lambda = \alphaT = 6\dot 1 = 6$ $f(4;6 )=\frac{{6 }^{4}{e}^{-6 }}{4!} = 0.134$ b. 10 bad checks over any 2 consecutive days Given that $x=10, \lambda = \alphaT = 6\dot 2 = 12$ $f(10;12 )=\frac{{12 }^{10}{e}^{-12 }}{10!} = 0.104837$
