Labtech is a company that manufactures microscopes and other laboratory instruments . on occasion, one of the microscopes is defective when it comes off of the production line. the probability that a microscope is defective is 0.17%. find the probability that one of the first 50 microscopes is defective .

0.0782 (7.82%)

Step-by-step explanation:

The required probability will be found by using the Binomial Distribution which fits the case of n independent events each with a probability of success equal to p with k successes.

The PMF (Probability Mass Function) is

Where

LabTech states that the probability that a microscope is defective is 0.17%, p=0.0017, q=0.9983. We need to know the probability that k=1 microscope is defective out of a set of n=50 of them. We now apply the formula

Which means that there is a 7.82% of probability to get 1 defective microscope out of the first 50

35 is an outlier

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 94

step-by-step explanation: 79+91+92+94+94 = 450 divided by 5 (since there are 5 number that are being added) = 90
