The Sky Ranch is a supplier of aircraft parts. Included in stock are 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated and two that are not. Three altimeters are randomly selected, one at a time, without replacement. Let the random variable x represent the number that are not correctly calibrated. Complete the probability distribution table; report probabilities accurate to 4 decimal places. x 0 1 2 3
P (x)

For x = 0, P(x = 0) = 0.35

For x = 1, P(x = 1) = 0.54

For x = 3, P(x = 3) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Sky Ranch is a supplier of aircraft parts. Included in stock are 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated and two that are not. Three altimeters are randomly selected, one at a time, without replacement.

Let X = the number that are not correctly calibrated.

Number of altimeters that are correctly calibrated = 6

Number of altimeters that are not correctly calibrated = 2

Total number of altimeters = 6 + 2 = 8

(a) For x = 0: means there are 0 altimeters that are not correctly calibrated.

This means that all three selected altimeters are correctly calibrated.

Total number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 8 =

The number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated =

So, the required probability =  

                                              =  = 0.35

(b) For x = 1: means there is 1 altimeter that is not correctly calibrated.

This means that from three selected altimeters; 1 is not correctly calibrated and 2 are correctly calibrated.

Total number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 8 =

The number of ways of selecting 2 correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated =

The number of ways of selecting 1 not correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 2 altimeters that are not correctly calibrated =

So, the required probability =  

                                                =  = 0.54

(c) For x = 2: means there is 2 altimeter that is not correctly calibrated.

This means that from three selected altimeters; 2 are not correctly calibrated and 1 is correctly calibrated.

Total number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 8 =

The number of ways of selecting 1 correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated =

The number of ways of selecting 2 not correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 2 altimeters that are not correctly calibrated =

So, the required probability =  

                                                =  = 0.11

(d) For x = 3: means there is 3 altimeter that is not correctly calibrated.

This case is not possible, so this probability is 0.
