Question 3 What is the answer to part (iv) Flaws occur at random along the length of a thin copper wire. Assume that the number of flaws follow a Poisson distribution with a mean of 2.3 flaws per millimetre. (i) Determine the probability of exactly 3 flaws in 1 millimetre of wire. ii) Determine the probability of 10 flaws in 5 millimetres of wire. iii) Determine the probability of at least 2 flaws in 2 millimetres of wire. (iv) What is the expectation and standard deviation for the aforementioned distribution?

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
