Question 17

A quality-control sensor checks 7 products, one product at a time. For each batch, the random variable X X\,X represents the number of products detected as faulty. Morgan models X X\,X as B(7,0.6)B(7, 0.6)B(7,0.6). For each batch, the random variable Y Y\,Y represents the inspection on which the first faulty product is detected.

a.

State an assumption Morgan makes to use this model.
