The number of flaws in a particular type of bond paper follows a Poisson distribution with an average of 2 flaws in 15 linear feet. What is the probability that a length of paper 3 feet long has no flaws? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Step 1
The average number of flaws in 1 linear foot is 15. Therefore, the average number of flaws in 3 feet of paper is: Average number of flaws in 3 feet = 15 x 3 = 45 Show more…

Based on past experience, it is assumed that the number of flaws per foot in rolls of grade 2 paper is an average of 1 flaw per 5 feet of paper (0.2 flaw per foot). What is the probability that in a 14 foot roll there will be at least 2 flaws?

A certain kind of sheet metal has, on average, 5 defects per 15 square feet. Assuming a Poisson distribution, find the probability that a 25 square foot metal sheet has at least 9 defects. Round your answer to three decimal places.
