Question

Transcribed Image Text:Concrete blocks are produced in lots of 1000. Each block has a probability of 0.90 of meeting a strength specification. The blocks are independent.
a. What is the probability that, in a given lot, fewer than 890 blocks meet the specification?
b. Find the 80th percentile of the number of blocks that meet the specification.
c. In a group of eight lots, what is the probability that fewer than 890 blocks meet the specification in two or more of them?
Expert Solution

The public chooses four candidates for the final round. Each candidate has an equal probability of being chosen. The Gotham Echo reckons that the local heroine, Stella Stone, has a probability of 38.5% of getting through to the final: they give her a probability of being chosen first, a + probability of being chosen second, a probability of being chosen third, and a probability of being chosen fourth.
