A light bulb factory produces 1,409 light bulbs every hour. Approximately 1.36% of the light bulbs are defective, and do not work. Using the binomial distribution, what is the standard deviation of the number of defective bulbs produced in an hour

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value is  [tex]\sigma = 4.35[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The number of light bulbs produce every hour is  n  =  1409

   The proportion of light bulbs that are defective is  [tex]p = 0.0136[/tex]

Generally from the question we are told to use binomial distribution hence the standard deviation of the number of defective bulbs produced in an hour is  mathematically represented as

        [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{n * p * (1- p )}[/tex]

=>     [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{1409 * 0.0136 * (1 - 0.0136 )}[/tex]

=>     [tex]\sigma = 4.35[/tex]
