Question 2: A company generally purchases large lots of a certain type of laptop computers. A method is used that rejects a lot if more than 2 defective laptops are found in a lot. Past experience shows that 10% laptops are defective. What is the probability of rejecting a lot of 20 units? What is the probability that in a batch of 20 laptops between 3 and 5 (inclusive) laptops are defective? On the average how many defective laptops are...
Question 3: The number of cars arrive at a gas station follows a Poisson distribution with a rate of 10 cars per hour. Calculate the probability that 2 to 4 (inclusive) cars will arrive at this gas station between 10:00 am and 10:30 am. What are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution you have used to answer part a?
This question is about a discrete probability distri Poisson distribution, the one which in fact mo- bution known as the Poisson distribution. Let r be a discrete random variable that can take the values 0, 1,2,... A quantity r is said to be Poisson distributed if the probability P(x) of obtaining z is tivated Poisson, was connected with the rare event of someone being kicked to death by a horse in the Prussian army. The number of horse-kick deaths of...
Hello, need help solving the rest. I might be doing it wrong
and cannot figure it out. Thank you.
The Poisson distribution gives the probability for the number of occurrences for a "rare" event. Now, let x be a random variable that represents the waiting time between rare events. Using some mathematics, it can be shown that x has an exponential distribution. Let be a random variable and let o be a constant. Thenis a curve representing the exponential distribution....
24. Consider a binomial probability distribution with p=0.6, q=0.4 and n=15. The mean for this distribution is: a) 0.60 b) 0.90 c) 0.24 d) Neither of the above 25. Using the data in Question 24, what is the standard deviation of the distribution? a) 0.24 b) 73.6 c) VG d) ſ9 30. Consider a Poisson distribution with 2=9. The mean and standard deviation are: a) 3 and 9 b) 9 and 3 c) 9 and 9 d) None of the...
For each problem below, state the distribution, list the parameter values and then solve the problem. You may use Excel to solve but you still need to list the distribution name and parameter value(s). For example: Poisson distribution, x=5, p=0.24, P(5; 0.24) = 0.78 a) A skeet shooter hits a target with probability 0.6. What is the probability that they will hit at least four of the next five targets? b) You draw a random sample of 12 first graders...
Any help?
2. The Prussian horse-kick data: The derivation of the Poisson distribution that we did in class is due to Poisson. However, this distribution did not see much application until a text by Bortkiewicz in 1898. One famous example from that text is the use of the “Prussian horse-kick data" to illustrate how the Poisson distribution may help evaluate whether rare events are really occurring independently or randomly. Bortkiewicz studied the distribution of 122 men kicked to death by...
SUBMIT THE LAB FOR GRADING Your insurance company has converged for three types of cars. The annual cost for each type of cars can be modeled using Gaussian (Normal) distribution, with the following parameters: (Discussions allowed) • Car type 1 Mean=$520 and Standard Deviation $110 • Car type 2 Mean=$720 and Standard Deviation $170 . Car type 3 Mean=$470 and Standard Deviation$80 Use Random number generator and simulate 1000 long columns, for each of the three cases. Example for the...
4) The result of a study says that children receive genes from their parents independently and that each child has probability 0.15 of having blood type O. What is the mean and standard deviation of the number of blood type O children among 5? 5) A car dealer says that on average they sell 3 cars per day. Consider that the daily sales follow the Poisson distribution. a) Find the mean and the standard deviation of the daily sales of...
The distribution of customers arriving at a bank is Poisson with a standard deviation of 2 customers per 15-minutes. What is the probability that more than 3 customers arrive during 15 minutes? a. 0.4335 b. 0.5665 c. 0.1804 d. 0.1954
