Answer #1

From the given information,

Mean for year is 8*12=96

Using Poisson probability calculator,

Hence,

P(X<=100)=0.6818

Which is required probability.

A large manufacturing plant has analyzed the amount of time required to produce an electrical part and determined that the times follow a normal distribution with mean time μ = 45 hours. The production manager has developed a new procedure for producing the part. He believes that the new procedure will decrease the population mean amount of time required to produce the part. After training a group of production line workers, a random sample of 25 parts will be selected...

(Q24-Q27) An insurance company has gathered the information regarding the number of accidents reported per day over a period of 100 days. The data can be found on the fourth sheet labeled “Accidents” in the “INFO1020 Final Exam DataFile.xlsx”. With the data, you are conducting a goodness-of-fit test to see whether the number of accidents per day can have a Poisson distribution. 24.What is the expected frequency of exactly 2 accidents per day? 25.What is the Chi-square test statistics? Round...

A manufacturing plant has a potential production capacity of 1,000 units per month (capacity can be increased by 10% if subcontractors are employed). The plant is normally operated at about 80% of capacity. Operating the plant above this level significantly increases variable costs per unit because of the need to pay the skilled workers higher overtime wage rates. For output levels up to 80% of capacity, variable cost per unit is $100. Above 80% and up to 90%, variable costs...
