Answer:

(a)   x follows a poisson distribution with parameter λ = 8 / hour

(b)   P( X = 5 ) = 0.09160

      P( X ≥ 5 ) = 0.9004

(c)   the expected value  of the number of nonconforming parts produced during a 120-min period = 16 nonconforming parts per 120 minutes

The standard deviation = 4

(d)   P(X ≥ 20) = 0.5297

      P( X ≤  10) = 0.0108

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose nonconforming parts are produced with a rate = 8 / hour (i.e. on average, 8 nonconforming parts will be made during a production period of one hour).

(a)  If x denotes the number of nonconforming parts made during one hour, then : x follows a poisson distribution with parameter λ = 8 / hour

(b)

What is the probability that exactly 5 nonconforming parts are produced during a 1-hour period? What is the probability that at least 5 nonconforming parts are produced during a 1-hour period?

the probability that exactly 5 nonconforming parts are produced during a 1-hour period can  be computed as:

P( X = 5 ) = [tex]e^{- \lambda } \lambda^x /x![/tex]

P( X = 5 ) = [tex]e^{- 8 }(8)^5 /5![/tex]

P( X = 5 ) = 0.09160

the probability that at least 5 nonconforming parts are produced during a 1-hour period

P( X ≥ 5 ) = 1 -  P( X ≤ 4)

[tex]P( X \geq 5 ) = 1 - \sum \limits ^4_{x=0} e^{-\lambda} \lambda ^x/x![/tex]

[tex]P( X \geq 5 ) = 1 - (e^{-8} 8 ^4/4! + e^{-8} 8 ^3/3! + e^{-8} 8 ^2/2! +e^{-8} 8 ^1/1! + e^{-8} 8 ^0/0! )[/tex]

[tex]P( X \geq 5 ) = 1 - 0.0996[/tex]

P( X ≥ 5 ) = 0.9004

c)  What are the expected value and standard deviation of the number of nonconforming parts produced during a 120-min period?

the expected value  of the number of nonconforming parts produced during a 120-min period [tex]\lambda = 8 \times \dfrac {120}{60}[/tex]

= 16 nonconforming parts per 120 minutes

The standard deviation = [tex]\lambda^{1/2}[/tex]

The standard deviation = [tex](16)^{1/2}[/tex]

The standard deviation = 4

(d) What is the probability that at least 20 nonconforming parts produced during a 2.5-hour period? That at most 10 nonconforming parts produced during this period?

During a 2.5 - hour period , the expected value = 8 × 2.5 = 20

As such, the probability  that at least 20  nonconforming parts produced during a 2.5-hour period is:

P(X ≥ 20) = 1 - P(X ≤ 19)

[tex]P( X \geq 20 ) = 1 - \sum \limits ^{19}_{x=0} e^{-\lambda} \lambda ^x/x![/tex]

[tex]P( X \geq 20 ) = 1 - (e^{-8} 8 ^{19}/19! + e^{-8} 8 ^{18}/{18}! + e^{-8} 8 ^{17}/17!+...+e^{-8} 8 ^2/2! +e^{-8} 8 ^1/1! + e^{-8} 8 ^0/0! )[/tex]

P(X ≥ 20) = 1 -  0.4703

P(X ≥ 20) = 0.5297

Probability that at most  10 nonconforming parts produced during this period is:

P( X ≤  10) = [tex]\sum \limits ^{10}_{x=0} e^{-\lambda} \lambda ^x/x![/tex]

[tex]P( X \leq 10) = e^{8} 8 ^{10}/{10}! + e^{8} 8 ^{9}/{9}! + e^{8} 8 ^{8}/{8}! + ...+ e^{8} 8 ^{2}/{2}!+ e^{8} 8 ^{1}/{1}! + e^{8} 8 ^{0}/{0}![/tex]

P( X ≤  10) = 0.0108

Following are the calculation to the given points:

For point a)

With parameter, x follows the poisson distribution is [tex]\lambda=\frac{8}{hour}[/tex]

For point b)

The probability that exactly 5 nonconforming parts are generated in a one-hour period.

[tex]\to P(X=5)=e^{-\lambda }\frac{\lambda ^{x}}{x!} =0.0916[/tex]

There is a good chance that at least 5 nonconforming parts exist.

[tex]\to P(X\geq 5) =1-P(X\leq 4)[/tex]

                 [tex]=1 -\sum_{x=0}^{4} \ e^{-\lambda } \frac{\lambda ^{x}}{x!} \\\\=1-0.0996\\\\=0.9004[/tex]

For point c)

Expected value for 120-minute period [tex]\lambda=8\times \frac{120}{60} =16[/tex] 120 minutes of nonconforming sections

[tex]\to \sigma ==(\lambda)^{\frac{1}{2} =(16)^{\frac{1}{2}} =4[/tex]

For point d)

Expected value for 2.5 hours

[tex]\to \lambda =8\times 2.5=20[/tex]

As a result, there is a good chance that at least 20 nonconforming items were manufactured.

[tex]\to P(X\geq 20)=1-P(X\leq 19)[/tex]

                   [tex]=1-\sum_{x=0}^{19}\ e^{-\lambda }\frac{\lambda^{x}}{x!}\\\\=1-0.4703\\\\=0.5297[/tex]

There is a chance that no more than 10 nonconforming parts were created.

[tex]\to P(X\leq 10)=\sum_{x=0}^{10}e^{-\lambda }\frac{\lambda ^{x}}{x!} =0.0108[/tex]
