Question 1:

A factory produces on average 10 defective products a day.

  1. What’s the probability, in a certain day a max of 4 defective products will be generated?
  2. What’s the probability, in 2 days 12 to 15 defective products will be produced?

Question 2:

A regular die is tossed 6 times.

What’s the expected values of the sum of all those tosses.

Question 3:

The survival time of bulbs is normally distributed with a mean of 1200 hours and a standard deviation of 350 hours.

  1. What’s the chance a bulb will be able to function between 1100 and 1500 hours?
  2. If a bulb survived 1400 hours at least, what’s the chance it’ll last for 1550 hours?

Answer 1:

We’d assume a Poisson distribution with lambda=10.

  1. That’s the probability for 4 days at most:
  1. The accurate lambda for 2 days is 20, and thus, that’s the requested probability:

Answer 2:

The expected value of a regular die is calculated as follows:

Since the expected value of the sum, is the sum of expected values, if the die is tossed 6 times, the overall expected value will be 6*3.5=21

Answer 3:

The survival time of the bulbs is normally distributed like this: X~N(mu=1200, sd=350).

The relevant calculation is this:

  1. The relevant calculation is this:
  1. That’s the relevant calculation in that case:
