Question

A factory robot recently examined some bulbs, of which 4 were flawed and 26 were not. Considering this data, how many flawed bulbs would the robot be expected to find in a batch of 15 bulbs?

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Given that:

Flawed bulbs = 4

Not flawed = 26

Total examined = (flawed + not flawed)

Total examined = (4 + 26) = 30

P(flawed) = flawed / total

P(flawed) = 4 / 30 = 0.1333333

If 15 is examined :

Expected number of flawed bulbs :

(4/30) * 15 = 2
