Transcribed Image Text:### Calibration Probability Query
**Question:**
The probability is 0.8 that a calibration of a transducer in an electronic instrument conforms to specifications for the measurement system. Assume that calibration attempts are independent. What is the probability that at most three calibration attempts are required to meet the specifications for the measurement system?
---
*Note: This problem involves the use of geometric distribution to determine the required probability. The geometric distribution models the number of trials needed for the first success in a sequence of Bernoulli trials. To find the probability that at most three calibration attempts are needed, we calculate the probability for one, two, and three attempts and then sum these probabilities.*

We'll be analyzing the surface area of a round cylinder - in other words the amount of material needed to "make a can". A cylinder (round can) has a circular base and a circular top with vertical sides in between. Let r be the radius of the top of the can and let h be the height. The surface area of the cylinder, A, is A = 2rr2 + 2Trh (it's two circles for the top and bottom plus a rolled up rectangle for the side). r = radius Areas = ar? h = height Area = h(2tr) %3D Circumference 2nr Part a: Assume that the height of your cylinder is 4 inches. Consider A as a function of r, so we can write that as A (r) 2 + 8 Tr. What is the domain of A (r)? In other words, for which values of r is A (r) defined?
