A national standard requires that public bridges over feet in length must be inspected and rated every 2 years. The rating scale ranges from 0​ (poorest rating) to 9​ (highest rating). A group of engineers used a probabilistic model to forecast the inspection ratings of all major bridges in a city. For the year​ 2020, the engineers forecast that ​% of all major bridges in that city will have ratings of 4 or below. Complete parts a and b. a. Use the forecast to find the probability that in a random sample of major bridges in the​ city, at least 3 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020. ​P(x​3) nothing ​(Round to five decimal places as​ needed.)

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A national standard requires that public bridges over 20 feet in length must be inspected and rated every 2 years. The rating scale ranges from 0​ (poorest rating) to 9​ (highest rating). A group of engineers used a probabilistic model to forecast the inspection ratings of all major bridges in a city. For the year​ 2020, the engineers forecast that 4​%of all major bridges in that city will have ratings of 4 or below.

a. Use the forecast to find the probability that in a random sample of major bridges in the​ city, at least 3 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020.

Answer:

This problem is a probability binomial distribution and it can be solved using the formula:

[tex]P(X=x)=C(n,x)p^xq^{n-x}\\\\q=1-p,C(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Hence the solution to the problem is given as:

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 - P(x < 3) = 1 - [ P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x = 2)]

Given that p = 4% = 0.04, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96, n = 10. Hence:

[tex]P(x=0)=C(10,0)*0.04^{0}*(0.96)^{10-0}=0.6648\\\\P(x=1)=C(10,1)*0.04^{1}*(0.96)^{10-1}=0.277\\\\P(x=2)=C(10,2)*0.04^{2}*(0.96)^{10-2}=0.0519\\\\P(x\geq 3)=1-[0.6648+0.277+0.0519]=0.0063[/tex]

Bit transmission errors between computers sometimes occur, where one computer sends a 0 but the other computer receives a 1 (or vice versa). Because of this, the computer sending a message repeats each bit three times, so a 0 is sent as 000 and a 1 as 111. The receiving computer "decodes" each triplet by majority rule: whichever number, 0 or 1, appears more often in a triplet is declared to be the intended bit. For example, both 000 and 100 are decoded as 0, while 101 and 011 are decoded as 1. Suppose that 6% of bits are switched (0 to 1, or 1 to 0) during transmission between two particular computers, and that these errors occur independently during transmission.(a) Find the probability that a triplet is decoded incorrectly by the receiving computer.(b) Using your answer to part (a), explain how using triplets reduces communication errors.(c) How does your answer to part (a) change if each bit is repeated five times (instead of three)?(d) Imagine a 25 kilobit message (i.e., one requiring 25,000 bits to send). What is the expected number of errors if there is no bit repetition implemented? If each bit is repeated three times?
