    Probability and Statistics: Poisson Ditribution

    The document discusses the Poisson distribution and calculating the probability of a packet containing a certain number of defective components. A manufacturer has a 0.35% defect rate and packages components in packets of 400. The question asks to determine the probability that a packet contains exactly 3 defective components. The solution shows setting the rate parameter λ to the expected number of defects and calculating the probability formula to get a 11.28% chance of a packet containing 3 defective components.

    PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS:

    POISSON DITRIBUTION
    A manufacturer estimates that 0.35% of
    his output of a component are defective.
    The components are marketed in packets of
    400. Determine the probability of a
    packet containing exactly three defective
    components.
    Solution:
    = np = 400(0.0035) = 1.4
    x = 3
    P(x)
    P(3)
    3! =
