A chip used in the production of particleboard (Question 4) has a 15% chance of containing excessive bark. What is the probability of having more than 860 bark-free chips in a batch of 1,000

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

P(particleboard with excessive bark) = 0.15

The P(that particleboard do not have excessive bark) = 1 - 0.15

i.e the population proportion number of success p = 0.85

The sample size (n) is given to be = 1000

To find the P(X ≥ 860)

Since the sample size is large, we will apply the normal approximation of binomial distribution to treat this question.

The population mean

The population standard deviation

Let X be the random variable which obeys a normal distribution;

Then;

P(X ≥ 860) = P(Z ≥ 0.8856)

P(X ≥ 860) = 1 - P(Z ≤ 0.8856)

From  z table

P(X ≥ 860) = 1 - 0.8122

P(X ≥ 860) = 0.1878

P(X ≥ 860) 0.2

Thus, the probability of having more than 860 bark-free chips in a batch of 1,000 = 0.2
