a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Proportion of rolls that pass inspection is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: : Poisson distribution is the probability distribution of discrete random variable series in which frequency of outcomes is calculated in a given period of time.

There is 67.66% probability that rolls would pass the inspection.

b

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The proportion calculated in part a) using normal approximation to Poisson is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Normal distribution is the probability function with continuous series. It is bell shaped distribution function where mean, median and mode are same.

Amertron, discussed in the given problem, has established a policy of passing rolls of wire having five or fewer defects.a. Based on the exact Poisson distribution, what is the proportion of the rolls that pass inspection? b. Estimate the answer to part (a) using the normal approximation to the Poisson.
A family of mutual funds maintains a service that allows clients to switch money among accounts through a telephone call. It was estimated that 3.2% of callers either get a busy signal or are kept on hold so long that they may hang up. Fund management assesses any failure of this sort as a $10 goodwill loss. Suppose that 2,000 calls are attempted over a particular period. a. Find the mean and standard deviation of the number of callers who will either get a busy signal or may hang up after being kept on hold. b. Find the mean and standard deviation of the total goodwill loss to the mutual fund company from these 2,000 calls.
