Question

A 24-hour printing center owns and operates five industrial printers that individually jam on average twelve times a day. After a paper jam has been cleared, the time until the printer jams again f.

Answer 1

The average time until a printer jams again is 12 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the average time until a printer jams again, we need to find the mean average of the times between paper jams for each printer. Let's assume that the time until a printer jams again follows an exponential distribution. The mean of an exponential distribution is equal to 1 divided by the rate parameter. In this case, since each printer jams on average twelve times a day, the rate parameter for each printer is 1/12. Therefore, the average time until a printer jams again is 1/(1/12) = 12 days.
