![### Expected Value Calculation for Defective LCDs
**Question: What is the expected value for the number of defective LCDs?**
Options:
1. \(0\)
2. \(0.1\)
3. \(0.45\)
4. \(0.5\)
5. \(0.9\)
6. \(1\)
---
In this question, the expected value refers to the anticipated number of defective LCDs based on a given probability distribution. The expected value (E[X]) is a key concept in probability and statistics that provides a measure of the center of a probability distribution.
To determine the expected value, consider the following general formula for a discrete random variable \(X\):
\[ E[X] = \sum (x_i \cdot p_i) \]
Where:
- \(x_i\) represents the value of the \(i\)-th outcome.
- \(p_i\) represents the probability of the \(i\)-th outcome.
For any given context, you will need to substitute the provided or known values into the formula to compute the expected value. Ensure you have access to the necessary probabilities and outcomes specific to defective LCDs to apply this formula accurately.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/3aad06c9-a061-4a71-9e2d-f01704b3cf27/b97a06f9-512d-4056-9a96-7b6e73163d0c/klygkgj_thumbnail.jpeg)

Transcribed Image Text:A manufacturer of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) is studying their production lines. The probability of sampling a defective LCD is 0.1. A sample of 5 LCDs is taken. You may assume that an LCD being defective is independent of any of the others being defective.

- Air-USA has a policy of booking as many as 24 persons on an airplane that can seat only 22. (Past studies have revealed that only 84% of the booked passengers actually arrive for the flight.) What is the expected number of passengers to arrive for the flight? Expected number of passengers = (please round to two decimal places) Find the probability that if Air-USA books 24 persons, not enough seats will be available. prob = (please round to four decimal places) Is this probability low enough so that overbooking is not a real concern for passengers if you define unusual as 5% or less? no, it is not low enough to not be a concern O yes, it is low enough not to be a concern What about defining unusual as 10% or less?
