Answer: 0.1353
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The mean of failures = 0.025 per hour.
Then for 8 hours , the mean of failures =
per eight hours.
Let X be the number of failures.
The formula to calculate the Poisson distribution is given by :_

Now, the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift :-

Hence, the the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift = 0.1353
Answer: 5.5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
30=5/4 ×(-20) + 10t
30 =-25 +10t
10t=55
t=5.5seconds
