Answer:
The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Poisson distribution where
t= number of units of time
x= number of occurrences in t units of time
λ= average number of occurrences per unit of time
P(x;λt) = e raise to power (-λt) multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!
here λt = 25
x= 30
P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!
P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30! (where E= exponent)
P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!
Solving it with a statistical calculator would give
P (x=30) = 0.0454
The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454
