Consider writing onto a computer disk and then sending it through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. Suppose

Furkat [3]

Answer:

a) 0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse

b) 0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses

c) 0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the Poisson distribution and the binomial distribution(for item c).

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:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}
$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

$
e = 2.71828$ is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Binomial distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Poisson mean:

$\mu = 0.2$

a. What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse?

One disk, so Poisson.

This is P(X = 1).

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.164
$

0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse

b. What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses?

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}
$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.819$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.164
$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.819 + 0.164 = 0.983$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.983 = 0.017$

0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses

c. If two disks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a missing pulse?

Two disks, so binomial with n = 2.

A disk has a 0.819 probability of containing no missing pulse, and a 1 - 0.819 = 0.181 probability of containing a missing pulse, so $p = 0.181$

We want to find P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.181)^{0}.(0.819)^{2} = 0.671$

0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse

What is the volume in cubic units of a cylinder diameter 6 and height 4

katrin2010 [14]

Hey there!

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is $\pi r^{2} h$ , which is essentially the base multiplied by the height.

If our diameter is six, then our radius is three, so we can solve for our base below. We will use 3.14 for pi.

$3^{2}(3.14)=28.26$

Now, we multiply this by our height of four.

$28.26(4)=113.04$

Therefore, our volume is 113.04 cubic units.

I hope this helps!
