The number of breakdowns of a factory machine in a week may be modelled by a Poisson distribution with a mean number of 3.2 per week. For parts a and b, find the probability that the number of breakdowns that occur in a particular week is each of the following, giving each answer to 4 decimal places. a) 5 or fewer. b) More than 6.

Bill has purchased the insurance policy from an insurance company to cover the value of his new RV in case if it gets totaled for the price of $1300 per year. Bill's RV worth $38000 and the probability of him totaling the RV during the length of the policy is estimated to be 0.1%. Let X be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for X: X outcome profit x ,$ P(X=x) RV is totaled RV is not totaled 2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following: E[X]=μX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.) SD[X]=σX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)
