Answer:
0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet
Explanation:
When we only have the mean, we use the Poisson distribution.
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given interval.
The number of weaving errors in a twenty-foot by ten-foot roll of carpet has a mean of 0.8.
This means that
What is the probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet
Either we observe 4 or less errors, or we observe more than 4. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So
We want P(X > 4). Then
In which
0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet
