If electricity power failures occur according to a Poisson distribution with an average of 3 failures every twenty weeks, calculate the probability that there will not be more than one failure during a particular week.
Added by Christian O.
Step 1
First, we need to find the average number of failures per week. Since there are 3 failures every 20 weeks, we can calculate the average per week as follows: Average per week = (3 failures) / (20 weeks) = 0.15 failures per week Show more…

Suppose that in a rural region of a developing country electricity power failures occur following a Poisson distribution with an average of 2 failures every week. Calculate the probability that in a given week the electricity fails only once. POISSON(2,1, 0) POISSON(1, 2, 1) 1-POISSON(1, 2, 1) POISSON(1, 2, 0)
