The probability is 1% that an electrical connector that is kept dry fails during the warranty period of a portable computer. If

the connector is ever wet, the probability of a failure during the warranty period is 5%. If 90% of the connectors are kept dry and 10% are wet,what proportion of connectors fail during the warranty period?

Answer:

1.4% of connectors fail during the warranty period.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 90% probability that a connector is kept dry.

A 10% probability that a connectors is wet.

If a connector is dry, an 1% probability of failling.

If a connector is wet, a 5% probability of failling.

What proportion of connectors fail during the warranty period?

This is 1% of 90% and 5% of 10%. So

P = 0.01*0.9 + 0.05*0.1 = 0.014

1.4% of connectors fail during the warranty period.

nikdorinn [45]

The student's statement about area is incorrect because by joining suitable lines, we can divide the region into 3 rectangles and we can find its area.

Please check the attached figure.

From the figure, we can easily observe that the area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle A + Area of the rectangle B - Area of the rectangle C.

Answer:

The confidence interval for the difference in proportions is

-0.028\leq p_1-p_2 \leq 0.096

No. As the 95% CI include both negative and positive values, no proportion is significantly different from the other to conclude there is a difference between them.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to construct a confidence interval for the difference of proportions.

The difference in the sample proportions is:

p_1-p_2=x_1/n_1-x_2/n_2=(183/217)-(322/398)=0.843-0.809\\\\p_1-p_2=0.034

The estimated standard error is:

\sigma_{p_1-p_2}=\sqrt{\frac{p_1(1-p_1)}{n_1}+\frac{p_2(1-p_2)}{n_2} } \\\\\sigma_{p_1-p_2}=\sqrt{\frac{0.843*0.157}{217}+\frac{0.809*0.191}{398} } \\\\\sigma_{p_1-p_2}=\sqrt{0.000609912+0.000388239}=\sqrt{0.000998151} \\\\ \sigma_{p_1-p_2}=0.0316

The z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

Then, the lower and upper bounds are:

LL=(p_1-p_2)-z*\sigma_p=0.034-1.96*0.0316=0.034-0.062=-0.028\\\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z*\sigma_p=0.034+1.96*0.0316=0.034+0.062=0.096

The confidence interval for the difference in proportions is

-0.028\leq p_1-p_2 \leq 0.096

<em>Can it be concluded that there is a difference in the proportion of drivers who wear a seat belt at all times based on age group?</em>

No. It can not be concluded that there is a difference in the proportion of drivers who wear a seat belt at all times based on age group, as the confidence interval include both positive and negative values.

This means that we are not confident that the actual difference of proportions is positive or negative. No proportion is significantly different from the other to conclude there is a difference.

weqwewe [10]
If you add all the numbers to gather you get 20 you said the first two fruit tart chew and a jelly treat what you do after you add all the numbers together is you look at what you trying to find out you you are trying to find out the fruit tart chew and jelly treat so you have 4 jelly treats and 14 fruit tar chew you add them together and you get 18 next you divide 18 by 2 and you get 0.9 
so your answer is 0.9 
hope it helps and hope get an a i wish you the best of luck
