Questions: A quality control inspector has drawn a sample of 14 light bulbs from a recent production lot. If the number of defective bulbs is 2 or more, the lot fails inspection. Suppose 20% of the bulbs in the lot are defective. What is the probability that the lot will fail inspection? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculating the probability of having at least 2 defective items

Using the formula for the complement of the probability of having less than 2 defective items: \[ P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - \sum_{i=0}^{2-1} \binom{14}{i} 0.2^{i} 0.8^{14-i} \]

Final Answer:

The probability of having at least 2 defective items is 0.802

Experiment [ICl]0, M [H2]0, M Initial Rate, M s^-1 1 0.257 3.20 x 10^-2 4.87 x 10^-4 2 0.514 3.20 x 10^-2 9.74 x 10^-4 3 0.257 6.40 x 10^-2 1.95 x 10^-3 4 0.514 6.40 x 10^-2 3.89 x 10^-3 What is the rate law for the reaction and what is the numerical value of k ? Complete the rate law in the box below. Remember that an exponent of ' 1 ' is not shown and concentrations taken to the zero power do not appear. (Use k for the rate constant.) Rate = k= M^-2 s^-1
