Question

A machine shop has 100 drill presses and other machines in constant use. The probability that a machine will become inoperative during a given day is 0.0555. During some days no machines are inoperative, but during some days, one, two, three, or more are broken down. What is the probability that fewer than two machines will be inoperative during a particular day? Multiple Choice 0.08187 0.02546 0.01637 0.02000?

Step 1

0555)^0 \times (1-0.0555)^{100} \] \[ P(X=0) = 1 \times 1 \times 0.9445^{100} \] \[ P(X=0) \approx 0.08187 \] Show more…
