Question

A company has 200 machines. Each machine has 129 probability of not working. If you were to pick 40 machines randomly, the probability that 5 would not be working is and the probability that at least one machine would be working is the probability that all would be working is

Answer 1

The probability that 5 would not be working is 0.18665, the probability that at least one machine would be working is 0.00602 and the probability that all would be working is 1.

Given a company has 200 machines. Each machine has a 12% probability of not working.

If we working pick 40 machines randomly then we have to find the probability that 5 would not be working, the probability that at least one machine would be working, and the probability that all would be working.

So

1) probability that 5 would not be working

C(40,5)·0.12⁵·0.88³⁵= 40!/(5!(40-5)!)·0.12⁵·0.88³⁵

                                ≈ 0.18665

2)  probability that at least one machine would be working

0.88⁴⁰ ≈ 0.00602

3) probability that all would be working

1 - 0.12⁴⁰ ≈ 1.0000
