    The manufacturer estimates 0.4% of its components are defective. Packets of 500 components are sold. The probability of a packet containing less than 3 defective components is calculated using the Poisson distribution formula. With an expected value (λ) of 2 defective components per packet, the probability is 67.67% based on the sum of probabilities of 0, 1, or 2 defective components per packet.

    PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS:

    POISSON DITRIBUTION 02
    A manufacturer estimates that 0.40% of
    his output of a component are defective.
    The components are marketed in packets of
    500. Determine the probability of a
    packet
    containing
    less
    than
    three
    defective components.
    Solution:
    = np = 500(0.004) = 2
    x =
    P(x) = e- x/x!
