Suppose that the number of defects in the production of a length of copper wire is modeled by a Poisson process with an average of 8 defects per 500 feet of wire. a. What is the probability that there will be no defects in 50 feet of wire? (.4493) b. What is the probability that the first defect occurs between the 25th and 50th foot of wire produced? (.2210) c. What is the probability that the 6th defect comes before the 350th foot of wire produced? Use fnInt. (.4881)
inter-defect distance =500/8 =62.5 feet =
1) hence probability that there will be no defects in 50 feet of wire =P(X>50) =e-x/ =e-50/62.5 =0.4493
2)probability that the first defect occurs between the 25th and 50th foot of wire produced=P(25<X<50)
=e-25/62.5 -e-50/62.5) =0.2210
3) expected number of failure in 350 foot =8*350/500=5.6 =
hence probability that the 6th defect comes before the 350th foot of wire produced
=1-P(at most 5 defect in 350 foot) =1- =1-0.5119 =0.4881

eBook Suppose that Motorola uses the normal distribution to determine the probability of defects and the number of defects in a particular production process. Assume that the production process manufactures items with a mean weight of 10 ounces. Calculate the probability of a defect and the suspected number of defects for a 1,000-unit production run in the following situations. (a) The process standard deviation is 0.30, and the process control is set at plus or minus one standard deviation. Units...
Q1 Suppose the lengths of telephone calls from a normal distribution with a mean length of 8 0 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.5 minutes. The probability that a telephone call selected at random will last more than 15.5 minutes is most nearly: a. p = 0.9987 b. p = 0.0013 c. p = 0.26 d. p = 0.0026 =================================================================== Q2 A manufacturer of car batteries claims that the life of his batteries is approximately normally distributed with a...
