- A manufacturer of plumbing fixtures has developed a new type of washerless faucet. Let p = P(a randomly selected faucet of this type will develop a leak within 2 years under normal use). The manufacturer has decided to proceed with production unless it can be determined that p is too large; the borderline acceptable value of p is specified as 0.10. The manufacturer decides to subject n of these faucets to accelerated testing (approximating 2 years of normal use). With X = the number among the n faucets that leak before the test concludes, production will commence unless the observed X is too large. It is decided that if p = 0.10, the probability of not proceeding should be at most 0.10, whereas if p = 0.30 the probability of proceeding should be at most 0.10.

The distribution for X is shown in the table. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of P(X ≤ 3)? The probability of the number of free throws made out of 8 is at most 3. The probability of the number of free throws made out of 8 is at least 3. The probability of the number of free throws made out of 8 is lower than 3. The probability of the number of free throws made out of 8 is higher than 3.arrow_forward
