Afactory has six safety systems. During an emergency, the
probability of any one of the safety systems failing is .05.
What is the probability that five or more safety systems will
fail during an emergency?
Your Answer:
For exactly 5 failures let
n=6
x=5
p=0.05
PSR —
For exactly 6 failures let
n=6
x=6
p=0.05
0= (1 -pj- = 055512 L0 055
, the probability of 5 or more failures= 1.78x10%-6 +
1.6x10"-8 = 1.796x10*-6
For five, we have 1ne6, x=5, and pe.05.
