A shipment of 60 highly sensitive accelerometers is to be accepted or rejected based on the testing of 5 chosen randomly from the lot. The shipment will be rejected if more than 1 of the 5 fail. It is known that 10% of the shipment does not meet the specifications. Let X denote the number of units that fail. What is the standard deviation of the distribution

Respuesta :

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the standard deviation of the distribution is of 0.67.

What is the binomial probability distribution?

It is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial.

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

The parameters are:

n = 5, p = 0.1.

Hence the standard deviation is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{5 \times 0.1 \times 0.9} = 0.67[/tex]
