Answer:
The probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift is
The probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day is
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability distribution of a Poisson random variable X representing the number of successes occurring in a given time interval or a specified region of space is given by the formula:
Let X be the number of failures of a testing instrument.
We know that the mean failures per hour.
(a) To find the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift, you need to:
For an 8-hour shift, the mean is
(b) To find the probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day, you need to:
For a 24-hour day, the mean is
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The 90th percentile of a normally distributed curve occurs at 1.282 standard deviations. Similarly, the 10th percentile of a normally distributed curve occurs at -1.282 standard deviations.
To find the percentile for the television weights, use the formula:
, where
is the average of the set,
is some constant relevant to the percentile you're finding, and
is one standard deviation.
As I mentioned previously, 90th percentile occurs at 1.282 standard deviations. The average of the set and one standard deviation is already given. Substitute ,
, and
:
Therefore, the 90th percentile weight is 5.1282 pounds.
Repeat the process for calculating the 10th percentile weight:
The difference between these two weights is .
