There are n machines in a factory, each of them has defective rate of 0.01. Some maintainers are hired to help machines working.

Using Poisson approximations to answer the following questions and explain why we can use Poisson approximation.
(a) If one maintainer is responsible for 20 machines, what’s the probability that machines go defective and cannot be repaired on time?
(b) If three maintainers are responsible for 80 machines, what’s the probability that machines go defective and cannot be repaired on time?
(c) Assume n=300, then at least how many maintainers are required such that the probability machines cannot be fixed on time is less than 0.01?

Answer:

a) 1 - ∑²⁰ˣ_k=0 ((e^-λ) × λ^k) / k!

b) 1 - ∑^(80x/d)_k=0 ((e^-λ) × λ^k) / k!

c) ∑²⁰ˣ_k=0 (3^k)/k! = 0.99e³

Step-by-step explanation:  

Given that;

if n ⇒ ∞

p ⇒ 0

⇒ np = Constant = λ,  we can apply poisson approximation

⇒ Here 'p' is small ( p=0.01)

⇒ if (n=large) we can approximate it as prior distribution

⇒ let the number of defective items be d

so p(d) = ((e^-λ) × λ) / d!

NOW

a)

Let there be x number of repairs, So they will repair 20x machines on time. So if the number of defective machine is greater than 20x they can not repair it on time.

λ[n0.01]

p[ d > 20x ] = 1 - [ d ≤ 20x ]

= 1 - ∑²⁰ˣ_k=0 ((e^-λ) × λ^k) / k!

b)

Similarly in this case if number of machines d > 80x/3;

Then it can not be repaired in time

p[ d > 80x/3 ]

1 - ∑^(80x/d)_k=0 ((e^-λ) × λ^k) / k!

c)

n = 300, lets do it for first case i.e;

p [ d > 20x } ≤ 0.01

1 - ∑²⁰ˣ_k=0 ((e^-λ) × λ^k) / k! = 0.01

⇒ ∑²⁰ˣ_k=0 ((e^-λ) × λ^k) / k! = 0.99

⇒ ∑²⁰ˣ_k=0 (λ^k)/k! = 0.99e^λ

∑²⁰ˣ_k=0 (3^k)/k! = 0.99e³

How do I set this up?
sdas [7]
Identify the length of both bases. The bases are the two Identify parallel sides of the trapezoid.

12 and 6 are our bases.

...Add the lengths of the bases.

12+6 = 18

..Multiply the sum of the lengths of the bases by the height. ...Divide the result by two.

18×5= 90
90÷2= 45

The area is 45.

Express each ratio as a fraction in simplest form. A. 2/29 B. 29/10 C. 20/29 D. 10/29
Tresset [83]
<span>Express 10 pints to 29 pints in simplest form.
The answer is 10/29 since 10 and 29 don't have a common factor to divide them both with. As a result, they stay as is 10/29 in already the simplest form. A is also in simplest form. B is in improper fraction form, also in simple form, can be turned into mixed number form. C is also in simplest form. The best answer is D since 10 pints to 29 pints is the instructions.</span>

46 out of 200 dogs are short haired breeds. What percent of dogs are not short haired breeds
Ivahew [28]

Hi!

46 out of 200 are short haired, which means that 200 - 46 = 154 out of 200 are not short haired. In percentages, that is:

154/200 = 77/100 = 77%

Hope this helps!
