An assembly line worker averages µ = 1 error per week of work (population characteristic). The errors occur on a random basis. What is the probability of two errors in a specific 50 hours of work?
Let X be the the number of error committed by worker in a time interval t.
And X follows Poisson distribution process
Now it is given that on average a ramdom worker commits one mistake or error per week of work
Number of hours in a week of work = 7 × 24 = 168 hours of work
So, lambda = parameter = 1/168 error per hour of work
The probability distribution of X for k number of events or success in a time interval t is given by
Putting k =2 , t =50 and lambda = 1/168 , we get
probability or two errors occuring in a 50 hour work
= (( 1/168 × 50)2 × e-(1/168 ×50) ) / 2!
= 0.032888
= 0.0329
So, there is 3.29% chance that there will be two errors in a 50 hours work by a random worker.
(don't get confuse that the worker is working 24×7 as he or she is not working all the time..
1 week of work may be spanned over any amount of time. It means that the total productive hours of work put by worker is in total equal to 1 week of time.. It is just a conversion)

A total of 280 observations of Bob Ramos, an assembly-line worker, were made over a 40-hour work week. The sample also showed that Bob was busy working (assembling the parts) during 240 observations. (Round all intermediate calculations to at least two decimal places before proceeding with further calculations.) a) a) The percent of time Bob is working =85.71 b) The number of observations that need to be taken of Bob to be 95 % confident with 5 % acceptable error...
2. Management claims the mean income for all senior-level assembly line workers at 3M equals $700 a week. An employee decided to test this claim believing it is different from $700. a. State the hypotheses for this test, and make a conclusion to the test based upon the confidence interval below. What level is this test? 99% CI of µ: (631.354, 650.868) b. Suppose management claimed that 60% of senior-level assembly line workers at 3M is greater than $650 a...

We're interested in the amount of time spent at work by college graduates employed full-time. The standard amount of time spent at work by full-time employees is 40 hours per week. We suspect that the mean number μ of hours worked per week by college graduates is more than 40 hours and wish to do a statistical test. We select a random sample of 100 college graduates employed full-time and compute the mean number of hours worked per week by...

An assembly line can produce 90 units per hour. The line's hourly cost (total salaries of workers) is $4,248 an hour (the first 8 hours). Workers are guaranteed a minimum of 6 hours (i.e., they will be paid for 6 hours per day, even if they work less than 6 hours). There is a 50% premium for overtime (i.e., salary is increased 50% during overtime hours), however, productivity for overtime drops by 8% (i.e, the number of units produced per...
Some college graduates employed full-time work more than 40 hours per week, and some work fewer than 40 hours per week. We suspect that the mean number of hours worked per week by college graduates, , is different from 40 hours and wish to do a statistical test. We select a random sample of college graduates employed full-time and find that the mean of the sample is 36 hours and that the standard deviation is 3 hours. Based on this...
