7. Last year \(4 \%\) of cars tested in a large chain of garages failed an emissions test.
A random sample of \(n\) of these cars is taken. The number of cars that fail the test is represented by \(X\)
Given that the standard deviation of \(X\) is 1.44
- find the value of \(n\)
- find \(\mathrm { E } ( X )\)
A random sample of 20 of the cars tested is taken.
- Find the probability that all of these cars passed the emissions test.
Given that at least 1 of these cars failed the emissions test,
- find the probability that exactly 3 of these cars failed the emissions test.
A car mechanic claims that more than \(4 \%\) of the cars tested at the garage chain this year are failing the emissions test. A random sample of 125 of these cars is taken and 10 of these cars fail the emissions test.
- Using a suitable approximation, test whether or not there is evidence to support the mechanic's claim. Use a \(5 \%\) level of significance and state your hypotheses clearly.
