The random variable x is the number of occurrences of an event over an interval of ten minutes. It can be assumed that the proba

bility of an occurrence is the same in any two-time periods of an equal length. It is known that the mean number of occurrences in ten minutes is 5.3. Refer to Exhibit 5-8. The probability that there are 8 occurrences in ten minutes is

Answer:

The probablility that there are 8 occurrences in ten minutes is 0.00518 or 0.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution that represents the ocurrence of this events is the Poisson distribution.

The probability of having k events in a ten-minute-period can be expressed as:

P(x=k)=\frac{ \lambda^ke^{-k}}{k!}

being λ the mean number of occurrences in ten minutes.

The probablility that there are 8 occurrences in ten minutes can be calculated as:

P(x=k)=\frac{ \lambda^ke^{-k}}{k!}\\\\P(x=8)=\frac{5.3^8e^{-8}}{8!}=\frac{(622596*0.000335463)}{40320}=0.00518

The probablility that there are 8 occurrences in ten minutes is 0.00518 or 0.5%.

Box 1 contains 1000 lightbulbs of which 10% are defective. Box 2 contains 2000 lightbulbs of which 5% are defective. (a) Suppose
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

a) There is a 66.7% chance that you were given box 1

b) There is a 80% chance that you were given box 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to note that there is a 1/10 chance of getting a defective bulb with box 1 and a 1/20 chance in box 2.

a) To find the answer to this, find the probability of getting a defective bulb for each box. Since there is only one bulb pulled in this example, we just use the base numbers given.

Box 1 = 1/10

Box 2 = 1/2

From this we can see that Box 1 is twice as likely that you get a defective bulb. As a result, the percentage chance would be 2/3 or 66.7%

b) For this answer, we need to square each of the probabilities in order to get the probability of getting a defective one twice.

Box 1 = 1/10^2 = 1/100

Box 2 = 1/20^2 = 1/400

As a result, Box 1 is four times more likely. This means that it would be a 4/5 chance and have a probability of 80%
