Question has missing details

One of the assumptions underlying the theory of control charting (see Chapter 16) is that successive plotted points are independent of one another. Each plotted point can signal either that a manufacturing process is operating correctly or that there is some sort of malfunction. Even when a process is running correctly, there is a small probability that a particular point will signal a problem with the process. Suppose that this probability is 0.05. What is the probability that at least one of 10 successive points indicates a problem when in fact the process is operating correctly?

The probability that at least one of 10 successive points indicates a problem when in fact the process is operating is 0.4013

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let P = Probability that a point signals an error incorrectly = 0.05

Let Q = Probability that a point signals an error correctly

P + Q = 1 Make Q the subject of formula

Q = 1 - P where P = 0.05

So, Q = 1 - P becomes

Q = 1 - 0.05

Q= 0.95

Solving for the probability that at least one of 10 successive points indicates a problem when in fact the process is operating.

If two events (P and Q) are independent

Then

P(P n Q) = P(P) * P(Q)

From De Morgan law;

P(P u Q) = 1 - P(P' n Q')

Where P(P u Q) represent the probability that at least one of 10 successive points

P(P' n Q') is calculated as follows;

P(P' n Q') = 0.95^10

P(P' n Q') = 0.59873693923837890625

So,

P(P u Q) = 1 - P(P' n Q') becomes

P(P u Q) = 1 - 0.59873693923837890625

P(P u Q) = 0.40126306076162109375

P(P u Q) = 0.4013 Approximated

The probability that at least one of 10 successive points indicates a problem when in fact the process is operating is 0.4013

109 is the nearest whole number/final answer! : )

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
