3) Poisson DistributionA manufacturing plant produces steel cable. Occasionally there are defects in the cable, with anaverage of one imperfection per linear meter of cable.a) A customer orders 10 meters of cable. What is the probability that there are fewer than 3defects?3 b) What is the average number of defects per 10 meters of cable?c) What is the standard deviation in the number of defects per 10 meters of cable?

Given,The average no.of imperfection per linear meter of cable is one.So, λ=1 per meter of cable

The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a student's alarm clock has a 19.1% daily failure rate. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. What is the probability that the student's alarm clock will not work on the morning of an important final exam? -(Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. If the student has two such alarm clocks, what is the probability that they both fail on the morning of an important final exam? -(Round to five decimal places as needed.) c. What is the probability of not being awakened if the student uses three independent alarm clocks? -(Round to five decimal places as needed.) d. Do the second and third alarm clocks result in greatly improved reliability? A.Yes, because you can always be certain that at least one alarm clock will work.

6. The life expectancy of a brand of car motors has a normal distribution with "- 75,000 and o - 5,500. a. Find the probability that 1 motor is chosen at random will have a life expectancy of more than 90,000 miles.
13. Machine components are mass-produced at a factory. A customer requires that the components should be 5.200cm long but they will be acceptable if they are within limits 5.195cm to 5.205cm. The customer tests the components and finds that 11.75% of those supplied are over-size and 5.95% are under-size. Assuming components supplied are normally distributed. What is the probability that one is under-size, one is over-size and one satisfactory given three of the components are selected at random? In a survey into working practices, the distance walked each day by a postal worker delivering mail in a residential district was recorded. For each weekday (Monday to Friday) the distribution had mean 12km and standard deviation 0.9km. For Saturdays the distribution had mean 10km and standard deviation 0.5km. No mail was delivered on Sundays. The distances walked on different days may be assumed to be independent of each other and normally distributed. Use this information to answer…
The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a student's alarm clock has a 15.7% daily failure rate. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. What is the probability that the student's alarm clock will not work on the morning of an important final exam? | (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. If the student has two such alarm clocks, what is the probability that they both fail on the morning of an important final exam? (Round to five decimal places as needed.) c. What is the probability of not being awakened if the student uses three independent alarm clocks? (Round to five decimal places as needed.) d. Do the second and third alarm clocks result in greatly improved reliability? O A. No, because total malfunction would still not be unlikely. O B. No, because the malfunction of both is equally or more likely than the malfunction of one. OC. Yes, because you can always be certain that at least one…

The finish of a hole depends on the edge of the bit used, only 1% of the holes with a new drill have an irregular cut, 3% have an irregular cut with average bits and 5% present irregular cut with worn bits. If 25% of the holes are made with new bits, 60% have average edges and 15% are worn out. [use 3 decimal places] a) If a piece is taken at random, what is the probability of having holes irregular? b) If a piece with irregular holes is taken, what is the probability that would have been made with an average drill bit?
