A random sample of 317 mp3 players had 19 that were defective.
a) how would you estimate the probablility that a new mp3 player is defective? what is your estimate?
P(defective) = 19/317
------------------------
b) what is your estimate for the probability that a new mp3 player is not defective?
P(not defective) = 1 - (19/317) = 298/217
------------------------
c) either an mp3 player is defective or not. what is the sample space in this problem? do the probabilities assigned in the sample space add up to 1?
Sample space
dd : (19/317)^2
dn : (19/317)(298/317)
nd : (298/317)(19/317)
nn : (298/317)^2
