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 9 days will be no more than 3? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events.

The probability that accidents occur no more than 3 days in 9 days is 0.7296

The given parameters are:

--- the probability that an accident occurs

The probability that an accident does not occur (q) is then calculated using the following complement rule

The probability that accidents occur no more than 3 days in 9 days is

Each probability is calculated using:

So, we have:

This gives

Hence, the probability that accidents occur no more than 3 days in 9 days is 0.7296

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean rate of lost time accident = 0.3 per day

probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 9 days will be no more than 3?

n = 9

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

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
