Question

The computer that controls a bank's automatic teller machine crashes a mean of 0.5 times per day. What is the probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will

crash more than 1 time? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer 1

0.692

Explanation:

Given: The computer that controls a bank's automatic teller machine crashes a mean of 0.5 times per day.

Mean per day = 0.5

Mean per 7 day = 7*0.5 = 3.5

X = Number of times the computer will crash

We have to find:

P( the computer will crash more than 1 time in any seven-day week) =?

P(x >1) = ?

P(X > 1) =1- P(X < or = 1)

P(X < or = 1) = 0.320847

P(X < or = 1) = 0.3208

P(x > 1) = 0.6792

So, the answer is 0.6792
