if electricity power failures occur according to a poisson distribution with an average of 3 failures over 4 weeks, what is the probability that there will be 4 failure during a particular week. what is e[x] are v(x)?



Answer :

The probability that there will be 4 failure in particular week is 0.00622.

e(x) = 0.75 = v(x)

Given,

If electricity power failures occur according to a Poisson distribution with an average of 3 failures over 4 weeks, what is the probability that there will be 4 failures during a particular week?

To know e(x) are v(x);

From the given info,

So 3/4 failure per 4/4 weeks.

That means on average 0.75 failures per week.

The probability that there will be 4 failure in particular week,

[tex]\frac{e^{-0.75}0.75^{4}}{4!}=\frac{0.4723*0.3164}{24}=0.00622[/tex]

e(x) = Average = 0.75

Poisson distribution have mean and variance same.

So v(x) = 0.75

Hence, the probability that there will be 4 failure in particular week is 0.00622.

e(x) = 0.75 = v(x)
