Question
The pharmaceutical manufacturing process is continually monitored for out-of-specs
content of the active ingredient in aspirin. Every hour 5 samples are taken from the
process. Listed below are the number of out-of-specs aspirin pills in a sample of 5, and
the probability associated with each.
Out-of-specs (x) Probability P(x) x · P(x) x - μ (x - μ)² (x-μ)²P(x)
0 0.9525
1 0.0380
2 0.0078
3 0.0015
4 0.0002
5 0
