Question
Chapter 13.3, Problem 13P
Summary Introduction
Interpretation:
Probability of exceeded budget.
Concept Introduction:
Central Limit Theorem states that when a very large sample is taken for evaluation of random variables, it tends to follow
It also states that the sampling distribution of any statistic will be normal or nearly normal, if the sample size is large enough.

TenTen Company manufactures video recorders. It is so certain of its quality control that it is offering a complete replacement warranty if the set fails within two years. Based upon compiled data, the company has a need that only 1% of its recorders fail during the first year and 5% fail during the second year. The warranty does not cover replaced recorders.
a) Formulate this problem as a Markov chain and determine the transition matrix.
b) Find the probability that the manufacturer will have to honor the warranty.
Jankord Jewelers permits the return of their diamond wedding rings, provided the return occurs within two weeks. Typically, 20 percent are returned. If nine rings are sold today, what is the probability that fewer than four will be returned?

9.19 In bottle production, bubbles that appear in the glass are considered defects. Any botle
that has more than two bubbles is elassified as "nonconforming" and is sent to recycling
Suppose that a particular production line produces bottles with bubbles at a rate of 1.
bubbles per bottle. Bubbles occur independently of one another.
a What is the probability that a randomly chosen bottle is nonconfornming?
b Bottles are packed in cases of 12. An inspector chooses one bottle from each case
and examines it for defects. If it is nonconforming, she inspects the entire case, re
placing nonconforming bottles with good ones. This process is called rectification
If the chosen bottle conforms (has two or fewer bubbles), then she passes the cuse.
In total, 20 cases are produced. What is the probability that at least 18 of them pass!
c What is the expected number of nonconforming bottles in the 20 cases after they have
been inspected and rectified using the scheme described in part b?
