lost-time accidents occur in a company at a mean rate of 0.3 per day. what is the probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 7 days will be exactly 3? assume poisson situation. p(x

Binomial Distribution

The binomial distribution is the sum of a series of multiple independent and identically distributed Bernoulli trials. In a Bernoulli trial, the experiment is said to be random and can only have two possible outcomes- success or failure.

In a binomial distribution the probability of getting a success must remain the same for the trials we are investigating. For example, when tossing a coin, the probability of flipping a coin is ½ or 0.5 for every trial we conduct, since there are only two possible outcomes.

Mean rate of lost time accident = 0.3 per day

probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 7 days will be no more than 3.

n = 7

Using binomial distribution formula :

P(x ≤3)

Probability of success (p) = 0.3

1 - p = 1- 0.3 = 0.7

nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n-x)

Using the binomial probability distribution calculator to save computation time :

P(x ≤3) = P(x = 0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2) + p(x = 3)

P(x ≤3) = 0.0403 + 0.1556 + 0.2668 + 0.2668

P(x ≤3) = 0.7295

0.7295
