The probability that a company’s work force has no accidents in a given month is 0.7. The numbers of accidents from month to month are independent. What is the probability that the 3rd month of the year is when the second accident occurs?
Homework Answers
P(no accident in a month), p = 0.7
P(accident in a month), q = 1 - p = 0.3
P(3rd month of the year is when the second accident occurs) = P(exactly one accident in first 2 months and accident in third month)
= P(exactly one accident in first 2 months) x P(accident in 3rd month)
= (2C1x0.7x0.3) x 0.3
= 0.126

3. Th e factory has experienced an average of four accidents per month over the last three years. The manager decided to require each employee to attend an accident prevention workshop. a. Assuming that the workshop has no effect on the accidents rate, what is the probability that next month there will be at least four accidents? Suppose that next month there is only one accident. Would you conclude that the workshop was successful? (Source: Brightman, H., & Schneider, H....

A policyholder has a two-year auto insurance for his new car. Let X be the number of accidents that the policyholder experiences in one year. You are given: Pr[X = 0] = 0.9 Pr[X = 1] = 0.08 Pr[X = 2] = 0.02 The number of accidents that the policyholder experiences in each year is independent. Given that the policyholder experiences exactly 2 accidents in two years, find the probability that the policyholder experiences at least one accident in each...

This year, the number of accidents, X, at an amusement park has probability generating function PX (t) = e−0.2(1−t) , where defined. The amusement park owner’s insurance company reimburses up to a maximum of one accident this year. Let Y be the number of unreimbursed accidents. Determine the probability generating function, PY (t) , of the number of unreimbursed accidents at this amusement park this year, where defined.

Romeo and Juliet decide to start a new business venture: JR Insurance Ltd. to insure people against damages from car accidents. They assume that car accidents resulting in claims occur according to a nonhomogeneous Poisson process at rate ? ? = 2? per month. As almost any other insurance policy; there is a stochastic delay between the time each accident occurs and the payment is made. These claims not yet paid are said to be “outstanding claims.” Suppose that these...

I construction work on multistorey building is a potentially hazardous occupation. A building contractor who is building a skyscraper at a steady pace finds that in spite of a strong emphasis on safety measures, he has been experiencing accidents among his large group of steel workers; on the average, about l accident occurs every 6 months.

Factory workers are constantly encouraged to practice zero tolerance when it comes to accidents in factories. Accidents can occur because the working environment or conditions themselves are unsafe. On the other hand, accidents can occur due to carelessness of so-called human error. In addition, the worker's shift, 700 AM 10 300 PM day shift), 300 PM to 1100 PM (evening shift), or 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM graveyard shift), may be a factor During the last year, 400 accidents have...
