A plant has a pollution-control system shutdown once every 75 days, on average. What is the probability of at least one shutdown in the next year?
Please don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" in case
you're satisfied with the answer
A. is correct.
x = 365 days
Lambda = 75 days
P(X>=1)
= 1- P(X=0)
= 1- (75^365)*(e^-75)/(365!)
= 1- 0
= 1 or 100%

A system has a history of malfunctioning at an average rate of once in every 400 days. The malfunctions are known to be random and independent and may be described by an exponential distribution. Determine, a. What percentage of components will fail in 200 days? If the manufacture wants to replace only 5% of the components, for how long should the manufacturer stated warranty on the component be? By redesigning the component, the manufacturer could increase...
Suppose that it snows in Greenland an average of once every 21 days, and when it does, glaciers have a 26% chance of growing. When it does not snow in Greenland, glaciers have only a 9% chance of growing. What is the probability that it is snowing in Greenland when glaciers are growing?
Suppose that it snows in Greenland an average of once every 21 days, and when it does, glaciers have a 26% chance of growing. When it does not snow in Greenland, glaciers have only a 9% chance of growing. What is the probability that it is snowing in Greenland when glaciers are growing? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Suppose that it snows in Greenland an average of once every 27 days, and when it does, glaciers have a 30% chance of growing. when it does not snow in Greenland, glaciers have only a 5% chance of growing. What is the probability that it is snowing in Greenland when glaciers are growing? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Suppose that it snows in Greenland an average of once every 29 days, and when it does, glaciers have a 27% chance of growing. When it does not snow in Greenland, glaciers have only a 5% chance of growing. What is the probability that it is snowing in Greenland when glaciers are growing? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A company typically receives an order for a particular product once every five days. a. What is the probability that there are two orders in 12 days? b. In 30 days? c. In one day?
Suppose traffic accidents at a road intersection occur once every 7 days. It can be assumed there is no more than 1 accident occurring at this intersection simultaneously, and at this intersection accidents can occur at any time. Also, an accident is not due to other accidents. (What type of distribution is this i.e. Gaussian, Poisson, etc.?) What is the probability that there are 3 accidents during the next 15 days at the intersection? Calculate by hand. What is the...

(a) If your life plan is to buy one lottery ticket every day for 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year for the next 50 years, where on any lottery ticket you have a one in 500,000,000 chance of winning the jackpot, what is the probability you will win the jackpot at least once in your lifetime? Hint: Let Wi be the event you win the jackpot with the ith lottery ticket. Assume these are independent. (b) (continued) Buying...
You are considering two different systems for pollution control. System 1 costs $960,000 has an eight year life, and has a pre-tax operating cost of $7,150 per year. System Two costs $580,000, has a five year life and has a pre-tax operating cost of $35,000 per year. Fort both systems use straight line depreciation and assume neither system has any salvage value. If your tax rate is 39% and your discount rate is 13%, which do you prefer?
